WXII Tolly Carr speaks at church- prelim DWI accident report

Tolly Carr's lawyer, David Freedman, presented the media with a DVD containing video of Carr speaking at Greater Cleveland Avenue Christian, a local Winston-Salem church, just a week (Sunday, March 18, 2007) after the fatal accident. Carr appeared to focus more on the affect his DWI accident had on his career and his own family than on the man whose life he took, Casey Bokhoven. He did not mention Bokhoven by name, but asked the church congregation to pray for the victim's family.

Also, a preliminary accident report was released, with these details of the accident in which Tolly Carr was involved: Carr went through the work zone barricade at Burke and West First Street at around 50 mph in his Ford 150 pickup truck, preceded down West First Street, veered off the road, went over a small wall, hit Bokhoven at 30 mph as he was standing on the sidewalk, then drug him 22 feet before crashing into a building. Bokhoven died under Carr's pickup truck.

Carr has been charged with DWI thus far, with more charges possible. Carr refused a Breathalizer test and was unable to perform simple field sobriety tests at the scene. Blood samples were taken and the results have not been released to the public as of this date. (March 25, 2007)

This was from Fox 8 WGHP 10 pm broadcast on Friday, March 23, 2007. WGHP is located in High Point, North Carolina.

He's only worried about his career...which is in the toilet and probably will stay there.

Lesson learned !! Don't drink and drive !!

[Amity197111]

actually this isnt the full speech...its on youtube look it up..the first thing he talked about is the victim and his family..i dont even know who this guy is so im not sticking up for him..as far as im concerned he was driving drunk and we all know what can happen when u do that..he needs to pay the price..

OMG that was a GREAT comment!~ LOL

[nannetta]

WOW Tolly Car thinks Tolly Car is Tolly Car IFIC! what a jerk. He should be saying he is sorry for what he did. But when you show NO remorse why would YOU be SORRY? He only feels sorry for HIMSELF.. sorry I have to go puke now.

What in the hell?

No, not everyone could find themselves in this situation pal.

YOU DID THIS TO YOURSELF.

THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOTHING MORE THAN AN APOLOGY.

For God's sake. What an embarrassment to everyone involved. My heart goes out to the victims family, this speech would have been torture for them. What a narcissistic bastard.

Will God be there for Tolly Carr? Yes of course he will. Hebrews 13:5 says "Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you.". Will Tolly Carr have to spend time in prison for making poor decisions that resulted in the death of an innocent man? Yes on that as well.

Check out steven's law on youtube.

A bigger problem is hit and run animals.

we need to make passengers liable to call in hit and run accidents to get aid for the victims.
