Credit where credit is due

There were three vehicles involved in Sandra's accident: 
  • car 1 (Chevrolet Silverado) that struck Sandra,
  • car 2 (Honda Civic) that car 1 struck BEFORE crossing the median of I-75, and 
  • car 3, Sandra's (Hyundai Santa Fe).

Driver of car 1 was charged with Reckless Driving. Nowhere in any report by authorities or insurance does it mention the driver being incapacitated in any way, i.e. the driver was not suffering a stroke nor was that driver unconscious. 

Driver 1 was reckless.

Driver 1's vehicle had been reported for reckless driving via a 911 call in Ocala within an hour of losing control North of Gainesville and hitting Sandra. 

It seems odd to be charged with Reckless Driving if you're unconscious?  And if you've suffered a stroke, should you really be driving a vehicle so soon afterwards?

  1. So where did the Stroke/unconscious idea come from??

  2. Multiple visitors mentioned to Sandra that 'they heard' driver 1 was unconscious or suffered a stroke, which caused him to lose control. Until proven otherwise, that is hearsay and a rumor that seems to make driver 1 a victim, and less responsible for their actions.

    Sandra does NOT want to talk about the accident. I'm providing the facts of the situation; people can speculate/believe what they want, please don't ask Sandra about it.

  3. I don't see how he could have had a stroke that led to the problem. All the evidence says otherwise. If he had a stroke, he would have been taken to the hospital and it would have been reported otherwise at the scene and not later.
