CLEVELAND (AP) - A man accused of chasing down his ex-girlfriend on an interstate and causing a crash last month was indicted on a murder charge Monday in what prosecutors say is a deadly road rage case.
Sean Kay, 19, of Brecksville, faces a maximum sentence of 15 years to life if convicted.
Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Bill Mason said Kay followed his former girlfriend on Interstate 77 on Dec. 28 after calling her 18 times that morning. He pulled alongside her, made an obscene gesture, then swerved into her, and both cars lost control, Mason said.
Kay's sport utility vehicle crossed the median, went airborne and landed on a vehicle in the oncoming lanes, killing driver Gerald Durzcak, 58, of Garfield Heights. His former girlfriend's van was forced off the road with a blown tire.
Kay also faces five counts of felonious assault, one count of aggravated vehicular homicide and five counts of aggravated vehicular assault. He will be arraigned Feb. 2.
Kay does not have an attorney listed in Common Pleas Court records. A call to Kay's home seeking comment was not immediately returned.
