Man struck by Car

[joly1584]

I was wondering who was driving the car and if they had been charged.

Looking at cases using the officers name I could not find any driver being charged on that date in the same vicinity.

I have heard Youngstown will charge the pedestrian,sober or intoxicated, if they cause an accident and they were crossing the street where there was not a cross walk.

That's the guy, didn't know that he was being charged though. I was wondering who was driving the car and if they had been charged.
There is a movement in the veteran community to help him because of mounting medical bills. In my capacity as Commander of an American Legion post i went to the rehab facility where he is laid up to visit with him. The man has had 3 or 4 surgeries on each upper arm/shoulder area, he can barely move his arms. one leg is in a cast and the other has a steel framework screwed into his thigh and lower leg.

But he seems to be a pretty nice guy...

Our post has already voted to make a nice contribution to his medical bills........

I am aware of the fund raisers obviously. In fact I had passed the info to Barry Landgraver at Veterans Service Commission.

But we were curious about the driver, I didn't really want to ask him as he was already in enough pain. He did tell me that he and a friend were out drinking...So we charge pedestrians with drinking, at least he wasn't driving.....
