An arraignment was scheduled for 25-year-old Jordan Porter, but his attorney waived his appearance.
Garner Police Department said in May, he was driving while impaired to work when he hit the Cambell family's car on US 70 Hwy and New Rand Road. Tyler, Susan and their 8-year-old son Miles all died from their injuries.
Porter was hospitalized for the injuries he received from the collision.
At the end of June, he was arrested and charged with three counts of second-degree murder, besides three counts of felony death by vehicle, speeding, failure to stop at a red light, expired registration, possession of marijuana paraphernalia, reckless driving, and more.
