I think it would have been better worded: "Grulke, 23, struck and killed Carrie J. Pete, after ALLEGEDLY falling asleep . . . .," instead of "Grulke, 23, allegedly struck and killed Carrie J. Pete, 37, after falling asleep behind the wheel on Oct. 8, 2012," Is it uncertain from all the evidence that his vehicle struck and killed her? or is it uncertain why he hit her? so the "allegedly" should be by the phrase "falling asleep" rather than "struck."
