(Fox Lake) A six day jury trial was scheduled this week for a Fox Lake man charged in connection to a fatal traffic accident in Green Lake County. Carlton Schley Sr. is facing felony counts of Second Degree Reckless Homicide and Second Degree Reckless Injury.
The charges stem from an accident that occurred in July of 2020, at the intersection of County Highway A and Hickory Drive in the town of Mackford. According to the criminal complaint, Schley was operating a John Deere tractor sprayer with booms and failed to stop at a stop sign on Hickory Drive.
A Toyota RAV4 driven by a 73-year-old man struck the tractor sprayer, killing him and injuring a 72-year-old woman who was a passenger. The trial is slated to begin on September 18th.
