Not-guilty verdict in crash that killed boy in Provincetown
PROVINCETOWN - The bench trial of a woman charged with motor vehicle homicide in the death of a boy in Provincetown lasted only one day and ended in a not-guilty verdict. Erika Salloux was on trial in connection with the July 14th, 2011 crash on Route 6 in Provincetown. She had admitted to being the driver of the Toyota Scion that struck 16-year-old Blake Van Hoof Packard who was walking his bike along the highway.What was termed "inconsistent testimony" was heard concerning Van Hoof Packard's location in relation to the white fog line on the side of the two lane highway. Following the testimony, Salloux's lawyer Jay Carney said he was not going to call Salloux nor an expert witness. A short time later Judge Thomas Kirkman handed down the not guilty finding.
