Information from search warrants shows Halla was driving at a dangerously high speed of 102 miles per hour 4.8 seconds before the incident His 2020 Explorer was traveling 93 miles per hour at the time of impact. Documents say Halla was in possession of a cell phone when the crash happened.
Halla was arrested last week, posting bond on the two counts of manslaughter. He has not been indicted.
"We do believe there is a difference between being charged and guilty," Williams said. "And so rather than completely sever all ties forever, we believed suspending indefinitely was the right thing to allow the legal process to take place." Ferris has been criticized on social media because of how long it's taken from the accident to charges and arrest.
"I would actually challenge that and say this is proof of a transparent government that's doing the right thing," Williams said. "It took fourteen months because an investigation was done properly and further it was done properly because we removed ourselves from that investigation." Drugs and alcohol do not appear to be factors in this horrible accident, but high speed and being distracted with a cell phone seem to play a part in this sad, sad story.
