IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — An Iowa man who court records say told an officer he was trying to kill himself by driving the wrong way on Interstate 80, has been charged with first-degree murder for the crash death of a Texas resident. Iowa court records say 32-year-old Stephen Lucore also is charged with vehicular homicide, willful injury and serious injury by vehicle. Johnson County Jail records say Lucore remained in custody Monday, pending $1 million bail.

The Iowa State Patrol says Lucore did not turn on his headlights the night of June 16 as he drove 80 mph eastbound in the westbound I-80 lanes between Tiffin and Oxford. Lucore collided with another car, fatally injuring its driver. He was identified as 31-year-old David Sawyer, who lived in Frisco, Texas. Two of his passengers were injured.

A court document says Lucore told a trooper that he was trying to kill himself by driving against traffic.
