BSU student charged with manslaughter in fatal collision

BOISE -- A Boise State student is facing a charge of vehicular manslaughter after police say he struck and killed a broken-down motorist with his car early Sunday morning. Prosecutors say Musgrove has a prior DUI in California in 2009, and asked the judge to set a high bond. He was arrested and charged originally with aggravated DUI. That charge was changed to manslaughter Monday. Prosecutors said in court Monday afternoon that 28-year-old Patrick Randall Musgrove of Boise was drunk when his car hit a man who was having car trouble on I-84 east of Boise just before 4 a.m. Musgrove's blood alcohol content was measured at .148 after the wreck, well above Idaho's legal limit of .08.
