A trial date has been set for a suspected drunk driver accused of hitting and killing a motorcyclist this summer.
Christopher Henry pleaded not guilty earlier this week to second-degree murder and driving with a suspended license charges. Trial was set for April 4.
Prosecutors said Henry was driving back from Temecula after visiting three bars on Aug. 1 when the crash happened.
At about midnight, he was driving on West Lilac Road near Bonsall when he swerved off the road, plowed into a tree and hit a motorcyclist, 60-year-old Richard Rodriguez. Rodriguez died at the scene.
Henry has a prior 2008 DUI conviction from Riverside County.
