Victim’s Family Upset With Plea Deal in Fatal DUI Pedestrian Accident
Some family members of a man killed by a drunk driver in July 2011 are very unhappy with the conditions of a plea deal reached between the driver and the prosecutors in the case. The victim, who was a Special Olympics champion, was walking along Goldenrod Road at Daniel Webster Drive in Winter Park that day when he was struck and killed by a car driven by a woman who had a blood-alcohol concentration greater than twice the legal limit. Florida Highway Patrol troopers who investigated the accident reported that a passenger in the car was also inebriated at the time of the accident.
