Man accused of fleeing fatal wreck
GODFREY – A man already awaiting trial for allegedly stealing air-conditioning units now faces charges that he fled after accidentally hitting a house with his SUV and killing a 73-year-old widower inside the home.
Prosecutors in Madison County charged Jacob Fickle, 24, of Godfrey with failing to report an accident involving personal injury or death.
Investigators say Fickle caused a disturbance Sunday at a Godfrey home and fled in a family member’s GMC Yukon after authorities were called.
