According to court documents, 46 year-old Thomas Senavitis, of Kunkletown, Pennsylvania, is accused for driving drunk and causing the two-vehicle crash that fatally injured Senator James Rhoades on October 17, 2008. Monroe County Assistant District Attorney, Colleen Mancuso, told jurors in her closing argument that Senavitis had a blood-alcohol level more than four times the legal limit when crossed into oncoming traffic lanes and struck Rhoades’ vehicle.

Defense attorney Wes Niemoczynski, representing Senavitis’, argued that Senator Rhoades was at fault in the crash. Niemoczynski said the lawmaker veered into the defendant’s lane to avoid a minivan parked on the side of the road. He also disputed the reliablity of the blood test performed on Senavitis.

The fatal car wreck occurred on Route 209 in Chestnuthill Township.

The dangers of driving under the influence of alcohol or other drugs have been known for decades, yet efforts to crack down on this problem are relatively new. Despite the hard work of law enforcement agents and activist groups such as MADD, drunk driving remains a serious danger on our roads. In Pennsylvania alone, drunk driving killed 1,517 people in 2006.

Pennsylvania law has serious penalties for people who drive under chemical influence, especially if they injure another person. Unfortunately, they do not do much to help the victims of these negligent drivers. While it may be satisfying to see drunk drivers punished with fines or jail time, their victims can be left with serious problems.

Montgomery County Sheriff’s Department officials confirmed that the man behind the wheel of the Pekiomen Valley school bus in a crash that killed two last week, Fredrick Post III, was involved in a crash in 1999 that killed 2-1/2-year-old Morgan Lee Pena. Post’s driving history did not preclude him from a job driving for the school district. Lynette F. Vivani, a spokeswoman for the district, said that the circumstances of Post’s past citations were unknown at the time of his hiring.

“Neither the criminal nor motor vehicle reports show any record of Mr. Poust being charged with a crime or any details about the 1999 accident.” Vivani said.

Pennsyvlania Department of Education guidelines only require companies to investigate driving incidents that occurred five years prior to the driver being employed.

Because the 1999 accident occurred nearly 10 years earlier and Mr. Poust had a valid CDL, no subsequent violations, came highly recommended by his previous employer, and completed all state and STA required safe driver training, he began driving…in March.”

Entercom said that Jennifer Lea Strange’s death was not foreseeable. Prosecutor for Strange’s family, Roger A. Dryer, said the evidence against Entercom was “overwhelming.” The lawsuit claimed that Entercom’s corporate officials failed to train their management personnel properly. Dryer said that disc jokeys on KDND’s Morning Rave Show knew ahead of time about a 2005 water intoxication death at California State University, and were warned by callers during the show that there was potential danger in the stations “Hold Your Wee For A Wii” contest.

Still, Dryer said, the station changed the rules in the middle of the contest so as to double contestants water intake and failed to get medical care for Strange even though she vomited in the studio and complained of head pains. Dryer asked the jury to award his clients between $24.62 million and #34.45 million in restitution. Dryer asked the jurors to “understand the value of a mother. Understand and appreciate the value of a mother, a lover, a companion and a best friend.”
