Last September 16, I was headed to a park to have lunch. It was about 11:55am when the accident occurred. I was driving north bound on and I somehow ran a stop sign. I don't remember running the stop sign. I don't even remember coming in contact with the other vehicle that was in the intersection heading in the opposite direction. Well, the other vehicle spun, striking a pole, ultimately trapping the passenger in the car. The car that i was in came to rest in a field nearby. I was unconscious. The man who was driving the other car managed to escape but unfortunately the woman who was the passenger died after a fire broke out and she was unable to escape. About a month after the accident, I was charged with vehicular manslaughter. I was not under the influence of any drugs or alcohol at the time of the accident. Doctors had believed that I suffered from some blackout possibly from hypoglycemia. I went through a few months until I thought the worst was going to be over. Unfortunately, in December I found out that another man died at the intersection where my accident happened. He also ran the stop sign. Then later on in January, I was notified that the man that was driving the other vehicle had suffered from a heart attack and died.
In March, I was charged again with the man's death and was sentenced in both cases. I ended up losing my license for two years and was placed on probation for three years in addition to having to serve 3 1/2 months in a correctional facility. The picture that I have attached is of me about 7 days after the accident. I have others to submit if you'd like to see them.
