WAUPACA, Wis. (WSAU) – A jury trial began Monday in the case of a Weyauwega man charged with crashing into another man in October 2004 then driving away without offering any help.

Rory Kuenzi is charged with homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle and hit-and-run resulting in death. He faces up to 40 years in prison if convicted.

Prosecutors say he ran into 20-year-old Kevin McCoy with his truck just outside Waupaca. A passerby found McCoy's body in a ditch on a rainy morning following an underage drinking party that both men attended, according to court documents.

A Dodge County jury heard testimony from the people who discovered McCoy's body and sheriff's investigators who collected evidence from the scene.

The trial is scheduled to last all week.
