Fromm was removed from Sergeant Koch's patrol vehicle and positively identified by Zambrano and Francis as the occupant and driver of the GMC who fled the accident scene. Fromm made several spontaneous utterances stating "I was driving, I knew I shouldn't have but Karen doesn't have a license."

Upon arrival I met with the victim, Isaac Higgins. Isaac had just been discharged from HRMC for a "Flash Burn" that affected his eyes. Isaac and his mother, Deanna Ahern, advised that while walking north out of the hospital a white truck "squealing its tires” turned the wrong direction at a fast speed and almost hit them. Deanna stated "My son and I had to jump out of the way" or they would have been "run over." Deanna stated she yelled at the driver of the truck "Hey, Watch out." to which the driver of the vehicle replied "Fuck you." Deanna stated the vehicle parked in front of the emergency

I spoke to the drivers who were all out of their vehicle and appeared that they were going to transfer information. I asked “Who was injured?” They replied that everyone was OK but one driver, later identified as Erin Feeney had injured her knee/leg. I requested Goodwill Ambulance to check on Feeney.

On May 4, off an interstate highway in Williston, Vermont, a truck driver named Paul Bristol(68 years old) suffered a sudden heart attack which caused him to go into the left lane and swerving along the guardrail for about 300 feet. A homeless man named James Pocock who had been living in the wood off the interstate for a couple of months seen a cloud of concrete dust as the truck hit the guardrail. He quickly sprang into action in order to save the life of Paul Bristol. James Pocock ran to the scene and found Bristol unconscious, with no pulse. Pocock then proceeded to give CPR. Pocock revived Bristol after countless CPR, which helped Bristol survive.

When arrived, he instructed nurses to take possessions of Michael’s clothes and to put them in a locked locker. Trooper Josh Brown became the primary investigating officer of the crash. He went to the accident scene early afternoon the next day after the crash. Showing up to the scene a day later, Brown did not see the vehicle or the state of the vehicle. He was involved in witness interviews, measurements of the crash scene, assisted with serving a search warrant of the vehicle, downloaded the control module of the airbag and prepared an accident report. On February 22nd, 2012, Brown participated in the processing of the vehicle with Joe Pasternak from the Montana Crime Lab. Brown testified Pasternak collected a swab of stain on the driver’s side dash and marked it as Item 15. Brown could not located the evidence to deliver to the Crime Lab. Brown has attended a basic accident investigation training at the Montana Patrol Academy. He relied on Hospital tests rather than the State Crime Lab’s test on Michael’s blood. Hospital results are to be directly for medical purposes and must not be used for legal testing. Brown later admitted he is not familiar with drug screening test and should have consulted with a toxicologist. Brown who has received the accident training did no calculations and never used a computer to assume who was the driver. He also later admitted, that the State never collected any evidence from the guardrail. His opinion was that Michael was driving the vehicle due to the fact he was found near the driver’s door. He interviewed Gloria Wells who describe Michael as being in front of the vehicle and was “scooting”. Gloria then drew a diagram and showed Michael in front of the vehicle. Brown described the forces created inside the vehicle were a forward motion. DNA testing revealed Michael’s DNA was found on the driver’s side airbag. Brown

”Hold on and pray.” These were the last words spoken to a 911 operator on August 29, 2009, before the speaker, Christopher Lastrella, and 3 family members died in a horrific car accident in San Diego, California. The cause of the crash? The pedal of the rented Lexus E350 was stuck in full throttle, hurtling the car down the highway at speeds of up to 120 miles per hour, rendering the brakes completely useless. Those who passed away included two adult men, an adult woman, and a thirteen year old girl. Upon further investigation, it was determined that the floor mat had caused the accelerator to be caught and unable to be released.
