DICKINSON COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities investigating a fatal 2018 crash have filed charges in the case.
The one-car rollover crash near the intersection of Hawk Road ad 800 Avenue killed an Abilene High School student Isaiah Johnson.
According to the Dickinson County Sheriff, Hayden Cook, who was also a student at Abilene High School at the time of the crash, was driving the 2005 Buick involved in the accident. He was treated for minor injuries.
Earlier this year Isaac’s mother contacted the Dickinson County Sheriff’s Office requesting additional investigation in her son’s death and asked that authorities reopen the case, according to Sheriff Jerry Davis.
The Sheriff’s Office reviewed the case and determined additional investigation was necessary. The Sheriff’s Office concluded its investigation and forwarded the case to the Dickinson County Attorney Office for review. Charges have been filed in Dickinson County District Court against now 20-year-old Cook of St. George, Kansas. Hayden is charged with Involuntary Manslaughter, two counts of Aggravated Battery, three counts of Endangering a Child, Reckless Driving, Driving in Violation of Driver’s License Restrictions and Speeding.
