A drunk driving accident claimed the lives of two Rosendale residents Sunday evening near Savannah at around 7:52 pm. The Missouri State Highway Patrol reports that a 2011 Dodge Pickup driven by Andrew Schneider (24) of Rosendale was southbound on Route C five miles north of Savannah, while a 2008 Chevy Van driven by Danny Donahoo (69) of Rosendale was northbound. The Patrol says the Pickup traveled into the northbound lane, striking the van head on. Donahoo and a passenger, Diane Donahoo, were pronounced dead at the scene and Schneider received moderate injuries. The Patrol says Schneider was not insured.
Subsequently, the Missouri State Highway Patrol arrested Schnieder in Andrew County on charges of DWI (Death of Two or More People) and Careless & Imprudent Driving.
On Monday, Steven Stevenson, Andrew County Assistant Prosecutor, filed charges against Schnieder alleging DWI (Death of Two or More, Felony), two counts Involuntary Manslaughter (Felony), Careless & Imprudent Driving (Accident), and Failure to Drive on Right Half of Roadway. Charges listed are mere allegations. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty. Bond was set at $15,000 Cash or Surety with requirements of house arrest and an electronic monitoring device.
