Iowa New: Driver charged with homicide by vehicle after crash kills passenger

Metrick Lawan, the driver of the car that crashed on September 21st 2009 killing passenger Heaven Chumos, has been charged with two counts of serious injury by vehicle, OWI, and the most serious charge of homicide by vehicle. He arrived at the Polk County Jail Monday after spending the last week in the hospital recovering from his own injuries related to the crash, his bond has been set at $76,000. Investigators had previously said that they found no skid marks indicating that Mr. Jenkins did not try to brake to avoid crashing.

The report indicates the driver had lost his license hours before the crash occurred.





Welcome to the Lombardi Law Firm website. If you or an interested person are in a collision and you would like the crash analyzed you'll need to contact Attorney Lombardi.

The bottom line is that Mr. Lombardi has to agree to take you on as a client; the first step of course is asking him. You've got two ways: telephone 515-222-1110 or email sent to sdlombardi@aol.com.

FAQs

Civil damage lawsuits and criminal law deaths, OWI and drunk driving

What can I do if I am caught driving without a license again?  I was in an accident; I do not have a license. Took a chance to get back and work. I have been caught before and this will make it my third felony driving while suspended. The ticket written was only for not providing a license, what can I do?

Can I sue the drunk driver that caused me neck and back pain? I was rear ended by a drunk driver in November 2010. His insurance company outsourced the claim to a company that specializes in these sort of cases. I got a little money from his insurance, but not enough to cover all of my loss and expenses. Is it too late to sue? Would it even be worth it? I took the ambulance ride to the hospital to get checked out. They didn't find anything wrong. A couple of days later I had significant neck and back pain, saw a chiropractor. I still have neck and back pain that I did not have before the accident. I was a delivery driver on a delivery. I was unable to deliver after the accident.

Can a child of the drunk driver who is killed collect insurance?
