Leesburg City Commissioner Jay Hurley won't face criminal charges in an accident that killed a motorcyclist during Bikefest in April. A statement by the State Attorney's Office said there was no proof Hurley committed a crime — "the evidence fails to demonstrate a reckless and wanton driving pattern required to prove a charge of vehicular homicide." However, Hurley violated state driving laws pertaining to "overtaking, passing, changing lanes and changing course," along with improper window tint.
