Will Ensley, who would have been a senior this year at Shawnee Mission Northwest, died in the nine-vehicle crash on Metcalf Avenue in July.
Police previously said a truck slammed into the back of the teenager’s car, which was crushed in the process. No one else was significantly injured in the crash.
Court records say Boomershine was driving a dump truck in a manner that “created unreasonable risk.” Charging documents say the truck also wasn’t registered, and the 50-year-old didn’t have record that he’s qualified to drive a commercial vehicle.
