Robert Malsch, a 21-year-old man from Lynnwood who pleaded not guilty to vehicular homicide, hit-and-run felony and reckless driving in Redmond in February, will have his next case-setting hearing on May 14, according to the King County Prosecuting Attorney Office.
Malsch was involved in a two-car collision early Feb. 28, which resulted in the death of driver in the other car. The other driver was identified as Michael Ey.
According to an earlier report, Redmond police and fire crews responded to the collision reported by a passerby at approximately 1:16 a.m. Malsch was seen running from one of the vehicles involved in the collision, during which both vehicles — Malsch’s red 2008 Volkswagen Rabbit and Ey’s white 2010 Honda Fit — had exited State Route 520. A Redmond Police Department K-9 team tracked Malsch a short distance away, and according to the report, court documents state that after he was located, one officer “noted a faint odor of intoxicants on Malsch’s breath and another noted he had physical signs consistent with having consumed intoxicants.”
