A warrant had been issued for his arrest 10 days before the fatal crash after he failed to appear in court on Sept. 12 on property offenses, break and enter, and driving without insurance charges.

Stucka is alleged to have been behind the wheel of a stolen truck when it slammed into a minivan on Highway 16 east of Lloydminster on Sept. 22.

Eva Tumbay, 37, Jeannette Wright, 53, and Glorious David, 35, died in the crash. Janet Gaye, 32, was seriously injured and is recovering in an Edmonton hospital.
