The man accused of hitting and killing Washington State Patrol Trooper Chris Gadd pleaded not guilty to vehicular homicide and vehicular assault with reckless driving and driving under the influence enhancements. The judge ordered 32-year-old Raul Benitez-Santana to be held in jail on $1 million dollars bail. Police said in the early morning hours of March 2, Raul Benitez-Santana crashed into Gadd's parked patrol vehicle on the side of I-5 near Marysville. Charging documents said he was speeding on the shoulder of the highway. Data from his vehicle showed he was driving 112 miles per hour, and that one half second prior to impact he hit his brakes, but it was too late. He hit the trooper’s car going 107 miles per hour, documents state. His attorney argued against probable cause evidence in court documents pointing to it was dark and that Gadd did not have his lights on, and Benitez-Santana only saw his lights come on one second before the crash.
