Truck driver in Deichman crash was sober

YOUNGSTOWN — David Feliciano, the semi-truck driver who survived the crash that killed Detective Sgt. Robert Deichman, tested clean for drugs/alcohol, said Lt. Chris Heverly, commander of the Ohio State Highway Patrol Post in Canfield.

The reading was 0.000, Heverly said.

Deichman, 40, died when his city-owned 2003 Ford Taurus hit the side of Feliciano’s trailer on Salt Springs Road around 3:20 a.m. June 19. Deichman’s blood alcohol concentration was 0.158. The legal limit is 0.08.

Heverly said the crash remains under investigation.
