ATLANTA (AP) - Thrashers star Dany Heatley was indicted Friday on vehicular homicide and five other charges in the 2003 wreck that claimed the life of his teammate Dan Snyder.
The Fulton County district attorney, Paul Howard, announced the indictment.
Police estimated that Heatley was driving his black Ferrari convertible at 130 km/h when it ran into a brick pillar and iron fence on Sept. 29, 2003.
Snyder, a 25-year-old from Elmira, Ont., died after several days in a coma, and Heatley broke his jaw and tore two ligaments in his knee. The Calgary native returned to playing with the team in January and led Canada to a world championship title in Prague this May.
Heatley, the MVP of the 2003 NHL all-star game, was in Canada on Friday preparing for the upcoming season, the team said. Heatley was named to Canada's team for the World Cup of Hockey, a tournament that runs Aug. 30-Sept. 14.
Authorities said Heatley had consumed some alcohol but was not intoxicated at the time of the wreck.

you have to feel for the Snyders, they buried their son and publicly forgave Dany. When do they get some peace?
