According to the complaint, Michael Flynn, 32, of Pittsburgh, failed to stop at a stop sign at Route 56 and Balsiger Road in Kiski Township. His car then crashed into a motorcycle carrying Tony and Kim Stasko.
Tony Stasko died instantly. Kim Stasko died at the hospital.
Flynn is charged with homicide by vehicle.
Armstrong County District Attorney Katie Charlton released a statement, saying:
"These types of investigation are very lengthy in nature. The nature of this case and the severity of the circumstances, including the tragic loss of life, demanded a full and complete investigation. It was necessary for the Pennsylvania State Police to investigate and conduct an accident reconstruction and issue a thorough report, which was necessary prior to filing any decisions with regard to charges in this case. Such reports take a great amount of effort, and I thank the state police for the thoroughness of their investigation. There were many factors that went into the decision of what charges to file, all of which will be presented during the course of the prosecution of this case."
