Boeheim passed the sobriety test, dude that got hit was in an accident already and decided to get out and walk on the 690, not very smart
YoloinOhio Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 (edited) How awful ... guy was in his 30s. Edit: Never mind - heard that on radio but now report says he was 51. Not that it matters. Edited February 21, 2019 by YoloinOhio
CommonCents Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 Should note that he took a test and had zero alcohol in his system. That’s the first thing that came to mind when I read your post.

eball Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 How sad. I don't care if Boeheim wasn't the slightest bit to blame -- hitting and killing someone is hard to get over. 4 1

bills_fan Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 I read icy road conditions and yes, no alcohol at all in Boeheim. Boeheim was shaken up but cooperating. Very sad all around. I always liked Jim Boeheim and he is Syracuse. So far, I am glad there are no other extenuating circumstances here...seems like a bad decision by the guy who died and just an accident with Boeheim.

Things went from bad to worse. Feel for everyone involved. This sucks..... He was supposed to be on Dan Patrick this morning, but obviously missed that.

Compound that with that most likely the vehicle operator was not dressed to be readily seen on a dark night.

LB3 Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 I work in Syracuse. A co worker came to my office and asked me if I knew who Dan Le Batard was. She then told me DA Fitzpatrick is pissed at him because he said on his show that Boeheim had been drinking and fled the scene. The DA said they should have called his office to confirm. I didn't believe Le Batard would be that stupid so I googled it. Sure enough, his reactions to the incident have been scrubbed by ESPN. http://www.espn.com/espnw/video/26046477/le-batard-reacts-boeheim-involvement-fatal-car-accident

I've never been a Cuse fan or Boeheim fan but this has to be just awful. I feel for the coah and of course the victim's family. 1
