From Fox News: A 22-year-old man died earlier this month from injuries sustained in a car crash — but not before waking from a coma and telling police his girlfriend intended to cause the wreck.
Daniel Waterman was a passenger in the car that his girlfriend, Leigha Mumby, 24, was driving along an interstate in Flagler County, Florida, during Super Bowl weekend in February. He suffered critical injuries and died from those injuries on Oct. 8, FOX35 Orlando reported.
Waterman’s mother told Syracuse.com that he was in a coma for a time before waking and recovering enough to tell investigators what happened before the crash.
Troopers said Waterman spoke to them from his hospital bed, where he claimed that Mumby intentionally caused the crash after she allegedly said, “I don’t care what happens. You’ll get what you deserve.”
According to CNYCentral.com, Waterman was so badly injured in the crash that he broke his neck, his back, his collarbone in three places, dislocated both hips, broke his leg and his ankle.
At the time of the crash, Mumby was pregnant with Waterman’s baby, and has since given birth.
She was arrested in July on a reckless driving charge, but since Waterman’s death, the charges were upgraded to vehicular homicide earlier this week. She was booked into the Flagler County Jail and released after posting a $150,000 bond, the report states.
