From The Mansfield News Journal (July 14):
Last week, an Ohio judge ruled that the driver in a March crash was guilty of vehicular assault. Police reports indicated the young man was huffing before he started driving. His impaired condition endangered other drivers as well as the five passengers packed into his Saturn Ion. The 18-year old's car crossed the highway median and shot up an embankment into a cluster of trees.
The report did not say if he was injured but at least one of his passengers sustained long-term damage. A 16-year old involved in the accident is just getting her life back together.
"She's walking pretty good now. Thank God for that, but she can't go out and play. She just has to be very careful" her stepfather said.
The young man was not jailed, but did receive a six month sentence in a juvenile detention center. He pled guilty to an additional theft charge and, pending a judges ruling, may be granted an early release.
