More charges have been filed against a Neosho man, who is charged with involuntary manslaughter following a Jan. 26 auto accident in which his father was killed and his son was injured.
According to Newton County Circuit Court records, Darren Prater, 33, who was already facing involuntary manslaughter and assault charges, has been charged with failing to secure a child with a safety belt, failing to wear a safety belt, displaying the plates of another person, and failure to register his car.
Prater was allegedly driving intoxicated when his northbound 1977 Lincoln ran off the road at Old Scenic Drive four miles north of Neosho. The car ran off the road and overturned. Sammy Prater, 55, was dead at the scene, according to Newton County Coroner Mark Bridges, and Hayden Prater, 10, was taken to Freeman West in Joplin for treatment of moderate injuries.
A 9 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 28, hearing has been scheduled.
