Driver High on Meth Nearly Killed Pregnant Woman, Found Guilty

A man high on methamphetamine that crashed into a pregnant woman is found guilty of driving under the influence, assault and reckless driving.

The 54-year-old was arrested in 2010 for hitting a 19-year-old pregnant woman. The crash nearly killed the pregnant woman and put her unborn baby in serious jeopardy. The baby was born premature but did survive.

The driver denied smoking meth before the accident but admitted to smoking the day before. He pleads innocent.
The jury unanimously found him guilty on all counts.

The man also denied crashing into the victim’s vehicle. He also denied representation because he wanted to give his own closing argument in court.

Previously, he pleaded not guilty to several charges including assault, DUI and reckless driving. The driver also has an extensive criminal background. A recording from the day of the accident shows him saying that someone must have “set him up” after officers found a cocaine and meth pipe in his jeep.

The defendant now requires around-the clock care at a rehabilitation facility. The family plans to bring the baby to trial every day so that defendant can personally see who he injured. Since the near-fatal accident, the woman cannot get out of bed or walk on her own.
