Prosecutors say John E. Savage, 54, was driving drunk in the Southeast Alaska crash that killed Heather Henderson, severely injuring him and her niece.
A Metlakatla man was indicted on four felony charges of manslaughter and assault earlier this month, stemming from a car crash that happened more than a year ago.
During an initial court appearance, Ketchikan District Attorney Alexander Kramarczuk said Savage was intoxicated when he picked up fellow Metlakatla resident Heather Henderson and her 7-year-old niece in the Southeast Alaska community on April 9, 2023. Henderson was also thrown from the vehicle and died at the scene. Savage was medevaced to Seattle for treatment. Kramarczuk said the child was able to crawl out of the wreckage and bystanders took her to the clinic in Metlakatla for treatment, but she was eventually medevaced out-of-state as well. The child was able to testify at the hearing, and according to Kramarczuk, appears to have recovered from her injuries.
