In Florida, a 99-year-old driver has shot down two girls to death
99-year-old Walter Roni from Michigan, who was responsible for the death of two girls in a car accident in Florida, recently passed a driving test and confirmed his driving license.
According to USA Today, in September 2017, an unknown person contacted the State Department of Michigan and complained that Roni could no longer drive safely due to poor medical records. 8 January Roni passed a vision test, a written driving test and a road test. He also underwent a medical examination and received two confirmations from doctors who recognize Roni’s condition as “favorable,” said State Department spokesman Michigan Fred Woodham.
Woodham also noted that in the history of driving Roni there was no mention of violations or other failures. Last week, an 99-year-old man drove a camper. A special license to drive such a vehicle is not required.
On Tuesday, around 18: 53, the evening, the van was in St. Lucie, Fla., And was driving on the wrong side of the road. The van crashed into a car that had 18-year-old Santiya Feketa and 17-year-old Britney Poindexter. The girls died. 99-year-old Roni and his companion 75-year-old Carolyn Elizabeth-Evans Bruns suffered serious injuries and were taken to hospital in critical condition.
Roni remains in critical condition, Bruns managed to testify to the police. Law enforcement officials said that the van may have turned off lights and the teenagers did not notice the car. Bruns could not remember if the headlights were functioning then, but said that the vehicle had power problems.
A spokesman for the Florida traffic police, Al Feola, said driving with the lights off on the wrong side of the road is not a criminal offense. However, investigators are awaiting the results of Roni’s toxicological analyzes and when he comes to his senses.
