Travis Wyrick, 18, Joplin, will stand trial for the hit-and-run accident that ended the life of Joplin High School senior Jamison Alexander in January.
Following a preliminary hearing today in Jasper County Circuit Court, Judge Richard Copeland ruled there was enough evidence to have Wyrick bound over for trial.
Wyrick's next court appearance is scheduled for 9 a.m. Monday, May 2.
