The trial of a South Dakota man involved in a fatal hit-and-run in May began Monday with jury selection in Riley County District Court.
Shane Jungemann, 48, of Jefferson City is out of jail on a $15,000 bond. He is charged with failure to stop at an accident with a reasonably known result in death. He was arrested May 15 after he hit a man with his semi trailer and drove away while he knew the man was still underneath.
Samuel Ratliff, 32, was walking behind Jungemann’s trailer near South Fifth Street and Pottawatomie Avenue. He was hit while Jungemann was backing up and got pulled underneath the vehicle.
