The driver of a car involved in a crash that took the lives of two passengers was allowed to visit with his family over the holidays. The driver, Richard B Freeman III, 24, is being held on the Norfolk Naval base while awaiting trial in the case.
Freeman was driving a black BMW and offered several people a ride back to the naval base. During the drive to the base, the surviving occupants claim that Freeman began to speed and drive in an aggressive manner. The trip ended when Freeman lost control and crashed on Granby Street in front of Bon Secours DePaul Medical Center.
Freeman was found to have a blood alcohol level (BAC) of 0.13, which is above the legal limit for driving in Virginia of 0.08. According to police, Freeman claimed that he had drunk six mixed drinks that evening.
The accident destroyed the passenger side of Freeman’s car, killing Cameron Richardson, 25, of Chesapeake and Lauren Kok, 22, of Staten Island, N.Y. Another passenger, Ryan Petrosky, was sitting behind Freeman and survived the crash without injury. Tom Jaskel was in the back seat and was seriously injured in the collision.
Freeman's blood-alcohol level was 0.13, above the legal limit for driving, Westbrook said. Freeman told police he had six mixed drinks that night.
A judge decided to grant Freeman’s request to spend Christmas with his relatives as he awaited his trial. He has been on the Naval base since being released on a $10,000 bond.
