I can't say I do. >> Yeah, I know you don't. I see where you're at. >> After the incident, both occupants of the F-150 were brought to jail. Sources indicate passenger Walter Nichols the III was charged with one count of third-degree assault of a first responder for allegedly punching a first responder who was trying to help the trapped child, one count of fourth-degree assault resulting in minor injury, one count of third-degree terroristic threatening, one count of second-degree disorderly conduct, and one count of public intoxication, first offense. News sources indicate Walter agreed to testify against the driver, Joel Hammock, in order to avoid a 10-year sentence. Kentucky's correctional website indicates Walter was convicted on one count of third-degree assault of a first responder, and one count of third-degree assault of a police officer. His parole eligibility was deferred until May of 2027, making that his earliest release. His maximum confinement would have him released in December of 2029, nearly 5 years after the incident. The driver, Joel Hammock, was charged with one count of vehicular homicide while under the influence of alcohol, one count of operating a motor vehicle under a combination of substances for the fourth or more time with aggravating circumstances, one count of first-degree assault, and three counts of second-degree assault. According to reports, Joel later told officers he didn't know if he was drinking. He explained the Bud Lights found in his vehicle were not his, but his passenger's, and that he only drinks Bahama Mamas. Search of the vehicle found an open Bahama Mama container and baggies of marijuana. Investigators also obtained surveillance footage of Joel purchasing Bud Lights at Casey's gas station just prior to the crash. Joel continued to tell officers he was unaware how he collided with the Kia and emphasized that the sun was blinding him, despite him sharing that he was wearing sunglasses. Reconstruction of the crash did indicate that the angle of the sun was a factor, along with Joel's impairment and speed. Forensics indicates Joel was traveling 73 mph in a 55 mph zone before colliding into the back of the Kia, which was traveling 17 mph an hour westbound around a curve as it approached an intersection with substantial glare from the setting sun. The 7-year-old girl who passed, Rose Morgan, was in the third-row backseat, the most impacted area of damage. After rear-ending the Kia, the truck continued to push the vehicle over the length of a football field before they hit a rock wall on the side of the highway, causing them to flip over. At no point has the Kia ever collide with the truck head-on as Joel claimed. Forensics indicates Joel did not apply his brakes prior to the impact. He reportedly had a blood alcohol content of .151, nearly double the legal limit. For a man that is 6'3" and well over 200 lb, it would take drinking approximately seven beers within an hour. His charge also indicates he was mixing drugs. A Kentucky State Police news release indicates a jury found Joel guilty on one count of murder, two counts of first-degree assault, two counts of fourth-degree assault, and one count of possession of marijuana. According to the Kentucky Correctional website, Joel was given two life sentences. His earliest eligibility for parole is in December of 2044, 20 years after the incident. Kentucky's legal process makes parole discretionary, meaning for a life sentence, Joel could spend the rest of his life behind bars. Few can understand the grief of losing a child to drunk driving, but know you are not alone. To help viewers understand navigating the emotional impact, Trish Waling, who lost her 18-year-old daughter in a separate drunk driving incident, joined Midwest Safety to speak about her experience. >> Today I want to share with you how I lost my beautiful daughter Jordan to a drunk driver on December 28th, just 3 days after Christmas. I'm hoping that this will help you or maybe a friend at a time when you're going through grief over something as simple as disappointment or something as unimaginable as the loss of a loved one. When the highway patrol came to my house, it became the worst day of my life. They sat with me while I called all of my family. My oldest brother John, who was always the big brother guy, for the first time he couldn't just give me a hug and brush me off and tell me that it was going to be okay and just to get back at it. Um I'm very fortunate. I have a large family and they helped me with the funeral arrangements, which are uh indescribable. I can't even planning your final goodbye to your baby girl to put her in the frozen ground, never see her again. And with the help of my uh family and my friends, um in Jordan's honor, we put together a run uh called Run for Jordan. >> [snorts] >> We joined MADD and we have been raising money to stop this senseless loss since then. It's not just living on like like you would if this hadn't happened. You do have to build it. You have to rebuild it. You have to rethink what it means to move forward without her. Create all of your events without her there. Uh weddings and births and like that that she would have been a big part of. By turning to my family and turning to Mad, I've been able to turn my grief into something positive for her. To make my loss mean something. I really hope that for those of you out there listening, you can take one thing away from this message and that is to in that moment of grief, turn to those people that you can count on. If you don't have those people, there's an organization out there that you can turn to. But I hope that if you do experience a small loss or a great loss like losing a loved one, >> [snorts] >> that it makes you a better person. It makes you a more compassionate person to those around you that may have gone through something like this. And I hope that you can make something good out of something tragic.
