Drunk Man Driving Wrong Way on Beltway Gets 9 Years for Fatal Crash

Posted on Jan 31, 2010

A 26 year-old man was sentenced earlier this month to 9 years in prison after crashing into and killing a young mother of 2 as he drove his vehicle the wrong way on the Beltway last March. His blood alcohol level was .16, twice the legal limit in Virginia. The 28 year-old woman was killed instantly; the drunk driver suffered broken bones but survived.

The defense attorney tried to raise doubt by suggesting it was the victim, not his client, who was driving on the wrong side of the highway. However, he was not successful.

FAQ

DUI and DWI

I've been hearing a lot about a program called DADSS - what is it?

Can I beat a show cause summons due to a clerical error?

I was convicted of a second DUI and sentenced to 180 days of jail with 160 suspended, and the 20 days being mandatory. I decided to pull my time on weekends, and when I registered for jail, the captain told me that I'd be pulling 10 days, because it was a misdemeanor it was explained to me that I'd be pulling day for a day.

I fulfilled my 10 days and have now been issued a show cause as to why i didn't pull the remaining 10. After contacting the jail, i've found out that the court did not put MANDATORY on the order for the jail. Do i have a case for dismissal because of this error on the court's part?

I was recently convicted of a DUI in Virginia and received a restricted drivers license. I have to show proof of FR44 insurance. My current policy is within the limits of the FR44 guidelines. Can I bring my policy into the DMV and will that be sufficient, or does it have to come from my insurance carrier? I really would hate to contact them if I do not have to, for the obvious reason of raised rates.
