Death resulting from marijuana aggravated DUI
With 1,500 powder blue fliers and nearly two dozen friends, an Elgin man spent more than two hours Saturday at the intersection in Wood Dale where his older brother was killed seven years ago.
The fliers were given to motorists, asking them to never drink and drive. The people passing them out were friends of a dead teenager who wish Richard Gancarz had gotten that message.
Gancarz was a truck driver sentenced to 14 years in prison for reckless homicide and aggravated DUI in the wake of 17-year-old Aric Wooley's death two days before Father's Day 2000.
Gancarz was convicted of DUI for marijuana use. He never submitted to a Breathalyzer, but authorities said he had been drinking the day he killed the recent high school graduate from Schaumburg, IL.
