Bullshit. He was drunk off his was and caused the accident. He drove into the pickup trucks lane speeding and passing cars on the highway.
He was in an ‘89 Turbo Trans Am, which was the fastest car built in the 1980’s and he wasn’t wearing a seat belt.
With a seat belt, he might have walked away. The car he died in was fixed.
Try actual research asswipe.
SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. — Manslaughter charges were filed Tuesday against a Las Vegas youth whose truck slammed head-on into comedian Sam Kinison’s car, killing the controversial comic and badly injuring his new wife.
The 17-year-old youth, whose name was not released because he is minor, was charged with one count of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence, said San Bernardino County Deputy District Attorney Frank Motikeit.
The boy was being held at San Bernardino Juvenile Hall. A detention hearing was scheduled Wednesday.
The boy and a friend were driving to a truck show in Arizona when the accident occurred Friday on U.S. Highway 95, Motikeit said.
Their 1974 Chevrolet pickup reportedly was filled with beer cans as they tore down the desert road, swerving into oncoming traffic near the California-Nevada border.
‘There were a bunch of beer cans in the back of the truck,’ Motikeit said. ‘We’re still awaiting results of the blood test for signs of alcohol or drugs.’
Wasn’t he brother, and manager, driving, with Sam in the back?
Just back from his, er, “a” honeymoon with his new bride.
