A report released from Auburn Hills police Monday revealed that neither Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson nor his driver, an ex-state trooper, were wearing seatbelts in the Chrysler 300 at the time of a two-car crash Friday.
The report also states the driver and passenger in the other car, a Volkswagon Passat, were not wearing seatbelts.
WWJ’s Gary Lundy spoke with Talkradio 1270 morning show host and WWJ Legal Analyst Charlie Langton about some of the legal issues brought up by the accident.
“I have to admit, I am surprised, I think everybody in this world now knows, if you get into a car, you have to wear a seatbelt,” said Langton. “It’s kind of drilled into you, why these people didn’t have (on) seatbelts .. it’s bizzare to me.”
