Police say driver who killed man in wheelchair was drunk.
Authorities say a Massachusetts man charged with driving drunk when he struck and killed a man in a wheelchair last weekend had been accused of operating under the influence of alcohol four previous times. Prosecutors say 78-year-old David Bowering, of Quincy, was held without bail pending a dangerousness hearing at his arraignment Monday on charges including fifth offense drunken driving and vehicular homicide. Not guilty pleas were entered on his behalf. Authorities say Bowering struck and killed 72-year-old James Bouchie as he crossed a Quincy street in his wheelchair at about 8:30 p.m. Saturday. Bouchie was pronounced dead at the hospital.
