A California resident, who lives in Tarzana, close to Burbank, is attending a memorial for 3 of his family members that were killed in a tragic multiple car accident which he survived in 2008. A drunk driver hit the side of a SUV limousine which the Randle family was riding, on their way back from the local airport. The car crash was one of serious destruction,
Mr. Randle was critically injured and 4 others were killed. Included in the fatality count were the limousine driver, Randle's 14 year old son, his 21 year old daughter, and her 13-month old son. The drunk driver fled the scene and survived with minor injuries. He is being charged with reckless driving, a hit and run, and four counts of vehicular homicide.
Demetrius Randle suffered severe head injuries, which could have resulted in his death. But were only enough to put him in a coma and left him hospitalized for an extended period of time. A year later, he has come out of the coma but he still suffers from brain trauma caused by the auto accident. He receives treatments for his head injuries such as hyperbaric oxygen treatments and physical therapy at a local hospital near Burbank, CA. He is supposed to be able to travel to attend the one year anniversary memorial for his loved ones who were killed in the car crash.
This is a very sad account about the consequences of drunk driving. Mr. Randle's time in the hospital had to of cost his family a significant amount of money, and that should have been the last thing on their minds in middle of mourning the wrongful death of three other family members. The negligent driver not only cost this family a lot of money in physical damages to Mr. Randle, but in funeral costs for their dead loved ones, as well as damages done to the other vehicles involved in the multi-vehicle crash.
