It Was No Accident; Truck Driver Charged with Crime
My last blog – of February 13, 2008 – needs updating. The garbage truck driver who mowed down and killed two people and seriously injured another Tuesday night in midtown Manhattan has been arrested and charged with manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide.
Auvryn Scarlett, 52, was charged in the deaths of Jacklyn Timmons and Andy Hardie.
While I previously reported that Scarlett had a heart attack causing him to lose control of his truck and jump the curb, apparently he suffered a seizure. Said seizure was brought on by his alleged failure to take prescribed anti-seizure medication. Hence the criminal charges.
