Man Accused Of Severing Teenagers Leg In Drunk Driving Accident Gets Eight Years In Prison
The man who was accused of drunk driving and hitting a Safety Harbor teenager will not face a jury trial. Joshua West worked out a plea agreement that will send him away for eight years in what is believed to be a DUI crash that cost then-19-year-old Andrew Hall his left leg. West was speeding early in the morning April 20 when he hit Hall, who was waiting near his apartment for a ride.
Hall has accepted an apology West issued at Tuesday’s hearing but he told the St. Petersburg Times he wasn’t so sure how sincere the 25-year-old was. Hall is now living in Clearwater and will soon be featured on the show “The Doctors”, which is syndicated and hosted by Montel Williams. The show should air sometime in February.
