Fund established for children of crash victims
Daniel R. Boucher, 27, of Green Bay was charged in Brown County Circuit Court Monday with two counts of homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle, one count each of injury by intoxicated use of a vehicle and causing those deaths and injuries while having a revoked driver's license.
The charges stem from a crash Friday night that killed James C. Rush, 52, and Wendy L. Rush, 47. The couple from Hobart were parents of two high-school age children, Green Bay police said. The crash also injured Boucher's fiancee, Tera Mae Trepanier, 28.
The crash happened about 9:40 p.m. Friday at Packerland and Oakwood drives in Green Bay.
