DUNCANNON, Pa. (AP) - A now-retired dump truck driver for the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation was charged Tuesday with vehicular homicide for an August crash that killed a Bellevue, Wash., woman and seriously injured her daughter.

State police said additional charges against Parke F. Hoover, 62, of Millerstown, include aggravated assault by vehicle, involuntary manslaughter and traffic offenses.

The charges were lodged about a month after the husband of Hui Satorius, 43, had expressed disappointment to The Patriot-News of Harrisburg that the investigating trooper had only issued a minor citation.

Perry County District Attorney Charles Chenot told the paper ( http://bit.ly/GFochI) he can overcome double-jeopardy issues, even though Hoover has already pleaded guilty to a summary offense and paid a fine.

"I don't see it as justice to let it go," Chenot told the Patriot-News.

A woman who answered a phone listed under Hoover's name on Wednesday identified herself as his wife and declined comment.
