Recent evidence shows the truck driver charged causing a fatal January crash that shutdown Interstate 71 for almost a full day, attempted to cover up his actions by deleting text messages. Christopher Thornhill, 33, of Rossburg, OH, was indicted Wednesday on 12 charges, including second-degree manslaughter and first-degree felony criminal mischief. According to investigators, Thornhill's log book was false and he deleted numerous text messages from his phone. Police were able to recover the messages as proof that he was texting and driving at the time of the accident.
