0:56Now PlayingA year-old jailhouse phone call was used to connect an Ohio man to a fatal collision on a Kentucky highway in which an 18-year-old college student was killed when the man’s tire fell off his truck.
Ricky A. Raider was indicted earlier this month by a grand jury for the freak accident that killed University of Kentucky student Lauren Collins, the Boone County Sheriff’s Office announced on June 21.
Collins, a rising sophomore and fashion merchandising major, was driving southbound on the highway near the Ohio border when the runaway tire smashed into her car around 12:15 a.m. July 16, 2023.
Raider was traveling northbound when the tire allegedly broke off his truck and rolled across the concrete barrier, striking the windshield of Collins’ white 2012 Buick LaCrosse.
First responders extracted Collins from her car before rushing her to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center with life-threatening injuries.
Collins, the lone occupant of her car, died at the hospital.
Six days after the fatal crash, Raider, 37, reported himself to the Independence Police Department, admitting “he lost a tire on the interstate over the past weekend but didn’t believe his tire had hit anyone.”
Months later, Sgt. Jeff Nagy of the department’s Accident Reconstruction Unit obtained a recording of a phone call Raider had with a female inmate in the Bullitt County Detention Center, 108 miles southwest of the Independence Police Department.
