Woman Commits Suicide, Brother Dies in Car Crash En Route to Hospital

A Michigan man was killed in a car accident as he followed an ambulance carrying his sister, who had just committed suicide, according to a tragic report. Brother Dies In Car Crash Rushing to Hospital After Sister’s Suicide Brenda Tucker, 21, was at her family-owned bar early Sunday morning in Detroit when she took a gun, walked into a back room, and shot herself. Her uncle, Eddie Falbo, said that his niece suffered from depression. “She grabbed a gun, and I took it away from her head,” Falbo said. “Others were talking to her. I came out the door and heard, ‘pop.’ It was terrible. There were about eight to 10 people in the bar … everyone heard it.” An ambulance took her to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Then the story took another unexpected, unbelievably tragic turn for the worst. As her brother, 20-year-old Ricky Tucker, raced to the hospital to check on her, he was struck by an SUV and killed, police told the Detroit Free Press . Officials say the younger sibling crossed the center line when his car collided with the SUV. The other driver was treated at the hospital for minor injuries. “It’s just one disaster after another for this poor family,” said Regina Holman, the bar’s owner. “I can’t imagine what it’s going to be like to bury two children.” Sister Amandajo Holman recalled learning about the crash : “After the doctors finally told us Brenda was dead, I called down to the bar to see about her cell phone, and that’s when I was told Ricky had been in a car accident.” Holman left the hospital to go to the accident site. “She just called and asked me where I was, and I could tell in her voice that Ricky didn’t make it,” Holman said. This incident now marks the third death in the family in the past six months alone. Falbo said that Ricky Tucker fatally shot his step-father in self-defense. “Three people in one family killed in six months,” Falbo said. “These kids’ mother is going through hell.”

Isht Is Real: Drunk Driver Who Confessed On YouTube To Killing Elderly Veteran Sentenced To Six-And-A-Half Years In Prison

He snitched on himself… Drunk Driver Who Confessed On YouTube To Killing Man Gets Jail Time Via Gawker reports: Today, Matthew Cordle, the drunk driver who released a YouTube video last month confessing that he’d killed 61-year-old Vincent Canzani, was delivered a sentence of six-and-a-half years by an Ohio judge. CNN has a video of the ruling. Around three in the morning on Saturday, June 22, after a night of bar-hopping with his buddies, the 22-year-old Columbus resident drove his truck “completely blacked out” into oncoming traffic, where his vehicle hit and killed Canzani, a divorced Navy submarine veteran with two daughters. Cordle, who’d been speeding the wrong way on a highway, survived with injuries. As prosecutors were still building a case against him for the fatal crash, Cordle shot and released a video confessing to the crime, declaring, “When I get charged, I will plead guilty and take full responsibility for everything I’ve done to Vincent and his family.” Related Drunk Driver Who Confessed To Killing a Man in YouTube Video Indicted This morning, an Ohio grand jury indicted Matthew Cordle–the drunk driver who released a YouTube video last week confessing that he’d killed… Read… Cordle did plead guilty, after a grand jury indicted him on charges of aggravated vehicular homicide and operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated. He faced a maximum sentence of eight-and-a-half years.

Random Ridiculousness? Swedish Multimillionaire Hit With $130K Speeding Ticket Because He Is Rich

Well, he can afford it. Multimillionaire Fined $130,000 For Speeding Because He Is Rich $130,000….how fast was he going? According to The NY Daily News A Swedish multimillionaire has been fined $130,000 for speeding — because he is so rich. Businessman Anders Wiklof was busted doing 77 kilometers per hour in a 50 kilometers per hour zone — or about 48 mph in a 30 mph zone — when driving in neighboring Scandinavian nation Finland’s islands of Aland. Had he been caught in Sweden, he would have faced a $615 penalty. But fines in Finland are issued based on the driver’s wealth – and with Wiklof having so much cash, he was hit with the much heftier fee. The 67-year-old accepted he was “in the wrong” for breaking the speed limit. But he claimed the fine was “unreasonable.” “I’d rather put that money on the elderly, health, day care or whatever,” he told Ålandstidningen. “I have only myself to blame, but one can question whether it is fair. There should be a ceiling, it’d be more fair. Where to put it I do not know, but as it is now, it’s unreasonable.” Wiklof, one of the most influential and rich people in Aland, made his fortune as the owner of a holding company. If the price of a ticket was tied to wealth in America—the majority of tickets would be cheap because 99 percent of America isn’t ballin’ while the one percent lives like kings. Shutterstock

Lamar Odom Charged with DUI, Has License Revoked

He may be avoiding professional help , but Lamar Odom cannot avoid the law. Following his August 30 arrest, the troubled husband of Khloe Kardashian was officially charged Friday with one count of Driving Under the Influence. Lamar Odom Arrest Details Odom was pulled over around 3:30 a.m. on the 101 freeway in Los Angeles because cops noticed he was driving too slow (yes, too slow ). He then failed a number of field sobriety tests and was hailed off to jail. Once there, Lamar refused to submit to a blood alcohol test. This actually helped his cause in a sense because police cannot now change him for hitting a number above the legal limit of .08, but it has consequences. Odom will lose his driver’s license for a year as a result. If convicted on the DUI charge, he will likely face probation and some kind of alcohol education course. This is Odom’s first drunk driving offense. He will be arraigned on September 27.

Family Affairs: Kris Jenner Hooks Lamar Odom Up With OJ Simpson Lawyer Robert Shapiro To Rep Him In DUI Case!

If Shapiro can get OJ off, this should be a breeze OJ Lawyer Robert Shapiro Will Rep Lamar Odom In His DUI Case According to TMZ reports : Lamar Odom needs some legal firepower after his DUI arrest, and its OJ Simpson’s lawyer Robert Shapiro to the rescue … TMZ has learned. Lamar has hired Shapiro in what promises to be a sticky situation. TMZ broke the story … Lamar was popped early Friday AM on the 101 Freeway … and cops believe he was under the influence of both drugs and booze. Shapiro is known for plea bargaining. These cases are pretty standard — he’ll probably plead no contest to one count of DUI and get probation. He’ll also be required to attend an alcohol ed class. And, since he refused to submit to a blood-alcohol test, he’ll automatically get his driver’s license yanked for 1 year. No getting around that. This has Kris Jenner’s paw prints all over it. She’s used Shapiro for other legal messes in the past — most recently Robert Kardashian Jr.’s criminal battery and theft case. Ironically, Kris’ ex-hubby, the late Robert Kardashian, repped OJ Simpson along with Shapiro. Kris was best friends with Nicole Brown Simpson and felt OJ was guilty as sin. Put down the bottle and the pipe, Lammy. Image via WENN Continue reading
