LISBON — An 89-year-old New Waterford man was charged with vehicular manslaughter in county Municipal Court after striking a man making deliveries.

Richard I. Kiehl, of Hatcher Road, appeared for arraignment on Thursday, and a pretrial was scheduled for Oct. 26. His license was suspended effective Thursday due to concerns his continued driving is a threat to public safety, court records show.

He’s accused of causing the death of Brian N. Clark, who was outside of a box truck either loading or unloading boxes as an employee doing package deliveries on Aug. 13. According to East Palestine Sgt. Brian Moore, Kiehl stopped directly behind the box truck for about 44 seconds and then lost control of his Ford F-150, causing it to accelerate forward. Clark was struck and pinned between the pickup and the box truck.

Clark died from his extensive pelvic and leg injuries on Aug. 26.

The vehicular manslaughter charge is a second-degree misdemeanor, which carries a possible sentence of up to 90 days in jail and a mandatory license suspension from six months to up to three years.
