The driver of an Amazon truck has been charged in Racine court with vehicular homicide while under the influence of a controlled substance, namely marijuana. Bond for 31-year-old Jonathan Bueche of Antioch was set Tuesday at $5,000. According to the criminal complaint, Bueche turned in front of a motorcycle Sunday morning at Highway K and West Frontage Road, killing the driver of the cycle, 45-year-old Adam Hobach of Oak Creek. His juvenile daughter, who was riding on the back, suffered serious injuries that were not life-threatening.
