I mean I have a buddy that has seizures, it seems entirely plausible. He was a college basketball player, like 6 foot 5 and when he had a seizure while driving on the interstate they thought someone had jumped out of the car because they couldn't see him in it, just a car idling down the freeway. Locked completely out and was laid out like a board across the center console. He's insanely lucky he didn't lock up onto the gas pedal, if he was shorter he may have. For now he's driving a moped to work, but it's better than the alternative I guess....
Did he actually end up going to Walmart before the crash? If so, what did he buy? If he bought something that indicated he was planning on living, then it was more than likely an accident due to a medical emergency. Also, wasn't it a Lexus where the gas pedal stuck and killed a family in California (I believe that was the state it happened in.)
@@RupertLaLageIV I don't know about all of them, but one of the Toyota stuck accelerator cases came down to an improperly secured floormat that would jam the gas pedal down.
@@edgarpoe517 I have heard of that happening. My father, in the 1970s, told me to never put a floor mat on the driver's side for that very reason. Thanks for your comment.
It is illegal to drive when you have any medical condition that might impair your ability to drive safely. Uncontrolled seizures is a big one. And if his roommate was aware of the seizure problem, he might be held liable as well.
@@JC-justchillin Uncontrolled being the keyword. A doctor has to report it. If the doctor think the seizures are controllable, then the person can drive. And I know this sounds crazy, but do you realize most people will have one seizure in their life? It may even be a mild one while they sleep and they don't even realize it happened. They can happen anywhere just like stroke.
We heard it on the news, it has to be true? They wouldn't lie to the populous about something like this. Rather it was a sick old lady or a Veteran with health issues should make no difference in the claims to insurance companies now should it????
Just like the white car on the bridge to Canada, they immediately (they all said) it was a terrorist attack. They it was stuck accelerator on a 250K car. But the bridge getting hit by the boat an accident moving on.
Woah. Many were saying it was an elderly woman, but now it's a 51 year old man. Seizures or something else. And an Army veteran. Hoping federal authorities are closely investigating this, including researching his friends and acquaintances. This may not be an accident. Reveals a huge infrastructure vulnerability.
Epileptics have a set of conditions that must be met in order to be allowed to drive LEGALLY. However, there is this thing called REALITY where epileptics, just like everyone else, have to go to work in order to pay bills. Yes, you're right, it DOES put others at risk. Want to know what ELSE puts other people at risk? Driving and using your cell phone. Driving with your kids or dog in the car. Driving a clunker. Putting your KAREN NOSE IN OTHER PEOPLE'S BUSINESS.
A lot of vets don’t even know where to start when it comes to taking advantage of those benefits, or they live so far from the nearest VA medical center that they can’t get there. Apparently this man had to borrow a car from his roommate so it’s doubtful he had regular transportation.
@crinklecut3790 The VA made it to where veterans could use local physicians, and their benefits would cover it when President Trump was in office. I've seen patients who have seizures that would choose not to be diagnosed because they were afraid that they wouldn't be allowed to drive anymore.
@@Nostalgic_1it is still very challenging to get care outside VA. Lots of hoops to jump through (it's the government, remember). But I am sure you are correct wrt people being afraid to lose driving privileges due to seizures. This might be an example of the risk, it's not just the driver's life at stake.
Poor guy. I feel so sorry for his family too.
Witnesses at the time were saying it was an elderly lady.
Which is why witnesses are unreliable

Calm your tïts buddy relax and go outside
interesting.. plus any video from walmart.
I seem to recall several of those stuck accelerator incidences, and it may very well have been a Lexus in those. It is sad, whatever was the cause.

Why criminal investigation when his family said he has seizures
And you think this why? Because his family says he was an Angel? At least let them complete the investigation...
Cuz tresppacing fences is illegal no matter the seizures

Hmmm... Not buying this.. First it's an old woman, now this...
Take that tin foil hat off bud.
It’s accurate.

It's almost like it's hard to identify people when they are driving fast. Not like the people stopped and waved.

Just shows how unreliable witness statements are.
Why are people that have a chance of having seizures allowed to drive, that puts everyone at risk.

Better check that roommate, this sounds very fishy
Looks like a government paid operative. kamakazi type

Had veterans medical benefits, and never had a check-up?

They'll give you an appointment after you're dead. It's like social security disability
