Felony Crash Charges



Sioux Rapids, IA (KICD)--A Rembrandt man faces a number of charges in connection with a fatal accident that occurred in late July.

On July 26th a two-vehicle head on collision took place a half mile south of Highway 10 on Highway 71 when a Chevy van driven by 44-year-old Anthony Borkovec of Ruthven collided head on with a 2003 Cadillac driven by 40-year-old Matthew Wrather of Rembrandt. It is alleged that Wrather was intoxicated, had a suspended license, no insurance and a fraudulent registration, and was left of the center of the road during the mishap.

The crash resulted in the death of 10-year-old Gavin Wrather who was a front seat passenger in Matthew Wrather's car and serious injuries to Borkovec.

Wrather was arrested Thursday by the Iowa State Patrol and Buena Vista County Sheriff's Office on charges of felony homicide by motor vehicle, felony serious injury by motor vehicle, and felony child endangerment resulting in death..

He was booked into Buena Vista County jail.
