A 34-year-old man who caused one death and two injuries after allegedly driving under the influence of etomidate on the CTE will be charged on June 10. The crash resulted in the death of a motorcyclist and has drawn attention because of growing concerns over the misuse of etomidate, a sedative normally used in medical settings.

Investigations are ongoing, and the court has yet to determine the accused’s criminal liability.
