Derik Kesler To Appear In Court

According to KMAN, Derik Kesler, 32, of Rossville, Kansas, is set for a court appearance in connection with a vehicular homicide that occurred last June.

Kesler, who will appear in court on Wednesday, Feb 17, at 1 p.m., is charged with the death of Mark Jilka, 49, of Manhattan resulting from a fatal truck and bicycle accident.

The incident, which happened June 26, 2014, occurred in the 3200 block of Kansas Highway 177 shortly after 7 p.m. Both vehicles were southbound, and Kesler – in his Dodge pickup truck – struck Jilka while he was biking on the right shoulder.

According to KMAN, a voluntary witness statement from Kesler said he was looking at an address on his phone’s GPS and did not see the bicyclist as he struck him. A law enforcement official who investigated the accident said the physical evidence at the scene was consistent with Kesler’s statement, with no indication of braking prior to the collision, and no visibility restrictions.
