RACINE, WI (WTAQ) - Prosecutors said a Racine County man was under the influence of prescription drugs when he allegedly caused a traffic crash that killed a 42-year-old woman.

A $50,000 bond was ordered for 38-year-old Daniel Hess of Caledonia, after he was charged with homicide by intoxicated driving.

Authorities said Hess was driving home from work on April 2nd when his vehicle crossed a center-line, sideswiped a car, and then collided with another vehicle head-on. That last driver, Michelle Schluechtermann of Caledonia, was killed.

Officials said Hess tested positive for methadone, hydro-morphone, and oxycodone. A state Crime Lab analyst said Hess’s level of oxycodone would have been enough to impair him.

He’s due back in court next Thursday, when a judge will decide if there’s enough evidence to put Hess on trial.
