Benjamin Brewer goes to trial in January

CHATTANOOGA (WDEF) – Benjamin Brewer got a trial date this morning.

He is the 18 wheeler driver charged with causing the I 75 crash in Ooltewah two years ago that killed six people.

A jury will be picked in Davidson County on January 18th.

Then the trial returns to Chattanooga on the 22nd.

Prosecutors say Brewer had drugs in his system during the crash.

Pre-trial arguments over the drug evidence delayed the first trial during the summer.
