An Evansville man is in jail this afternoon after police say he admitted to being under the influence of marijuana when he hit a man in a motorized wheelchair last night. The accident happened around 6 p.m. on Covert Avenue, near Walnut Lane. The operator of the motorized wheelchair, 67-year-old Stephen Ellison, was hit from behind by the vehicle of 27-year-old Bryce Klueh of Evansville. According to the police affidavit, Klueh admitted to police he had smoked marijuana about 20 minutes prior to the accident. Klueh also said he never said Ellison's wheelchair and he had looked down at his iPod before hitting it. Tonight on 14 News, Erin Meyer will have more on the story, including calls made before the accident that warned of Ellison's wheelchair as a hazard in the road. We will also hear from a Henderson high school student who tried to help at the scene.
