An Aumsville man is facing a new charge of manslaughter after the pedestrian he allegedly struck during a DUII collision in January died from her injuries.
On May 22, a new indictment was filed against Eric Raymond Webb, 49, in Marion County Circuit Court to include a count of first-degree manslaughter for the death of Julia Aubrey Wade, 26.
A hearing is scheduled for Aug. 2 during which a trial date may be set. If convicted, Webb faces at least ten years in prison.
Wade’s death was announced on social media May 17. The indictment alleged her passing was the result of the Jan. 21 traffic collision.
Webb allegedly struck Wade near the intersection of Lancaster Drive and Rickey Street SE, in Salem. Webb allegedly fled the scene and was taken into custody on Claxter Road NE, in Keizer.
Since then Webb has been in the custody of the Marion County Jail without bail. While awaiting trial on these charges he is serving a six-month sentence for probation violation related to a 2019 conviction for DUII that included a 45-month prison sentence.
Webb has been convicted of DUII six times in Oregon since 2008, most of which included reckless driving and hit-and-run charges.
