Skinner Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 from the website An 18-year-old was charged on Wednesday in connection with a freeway drag race that killed a man and critically injured a woman. Brandon Smith, 18, was charged with involuntary manslaughter, aggravated vehicular homicide and aggravated vehicular assault, 10TV's Kevin Landers reported. While Smith's car never hit another vehicle, prosecutors said that his act of street racing contributed to the crash, leading to the charges. ccording to Franklin County prosecutor Ron O'Brien, Smith was behind the wheel of a Camaro that was drag racing along Interstate 70. The driver of the other car, George Staton lost control of his car and cross the median and crashed into another vehicle. Staton, 30, was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash. The driver of the car that was struck, Monica Durban, was critically hurt in the crash. Durban, 20, was in a coma and on life support and is recovering from her injuries, 10TV News reported. According to police, not only was Staton drag racing moments before the crash, but he was also legally drunk. Police records obtained by 10TV News show there were four witnesses to the crash: Staton's wife, his neighbor, his cousin and the driver Staton was racing. Staton's wife and neighbor told investigators that the other man called Staton and challenged him to a race. When asked about the race the driver told police that his car "started breaking loose, so (he) let off the gas," allowing Staton to speed past him. Staton's neighbor, who was following behind with Staton's wife, said that "after the race was over they both hit their brakes to slow down." The neighbor said it was "5 or 10 seconds later" that Staton lost control and crossed the median, 10TV's Glenn McEntyre reported. Stay with 10TV News and 10TV.com for continuing coverage.

old dirty bastard Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Wow talking about a delayed reaction. Two people I went to school with raced (years ago) the two cars that was racing bumped into each other sending one car into oncoming traffic killing 3 (including the one drag racer)and also critically injuring another the cops charged the guy that night. I thought they would charge this kid at first but I would never guess it would take this long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twistedrx7 Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Atleast they didnt mention Columbusracing on the news cast. They said brandon will be turning himself in tomorrow morning. Those are some pretty heavy charges, i guess they just went after whoever they could. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTQ B4U Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 That sucks. It is not his falt someone else lost control well if he was involved and contributed to the cause, then I would say he is at fault. if you and another guy go into a bank and the other guys shoots and kills someone, you'll go down too. I think this is a matter of the girls family looking for justice. Once this gets completed, there will most definitely be a civil case. She'll likely need millions $$ for the remainder of her medical costs/life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vander Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 I don't think Brandon should be charged for all of those things. He did not hit anyone as stated. George assumed the risk of dying when he agreed to illegally race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By that logic the family and state should sue GM, the companys that made the performance parts and the state for not having a solid barrier seperating the two lanes. -Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
