(Bloomberg) A New York teenager out for a late- night drive in an all-terrain vehicle was charged with negligent vehicular homicide under the influence of alcohol after a crash that killed his passenger and prep-school roommate at the luxury Yellowstone Club resort in Montana.

James Sinclair Welch, 19, son of Welch Capital Partners LLC founder Leighton Welch of Bronxville, was arrested about 11:50 p.m., Aug. 2, by the Montana Highway Patrol, according to state court documents. The victim, Parker Regan, 19, of Mendham, New Jersey, was a son of R. Christopher Regan, a founding partner of The Chartis Group, a health-care consultancy.

The accident occurred at the Yellowstone Club, a private ski and golf resort near Big Sky, Montana. Members include Microsoft Corp. co-founder Bill Gates, Tour de France cycling champion Greg LeMond and Cliff Asness, co-founder of the hedge fund AQR Capital Management LLC in Greenwich, Connecticut.

Welch was driving a 2012 Polaris Ranger Crew, a four-wheel- drive vehicle, and told police he was making a left turn on Andesite Ridge Road when Regan “fell out,” according to an affidavit by Trooper Joshua Brown and a citation he issued. ...............(more)
