Driver Behind Fatal Crash Gets 5 Years

A reckless 33-year-old driver, Dior Cortez Wheeler, faces over five years in prison and $63K in restitution after a deadly crash in Bloomington that killed a 29-year-old woman. Wheeler initially claimed he was just a passenger and that the victim asked to drive, but evidence—including his DNA on airbags, seatbelt bruises, and a witness report of speeding—exposed his lies. His BAC was .191, double the limit, and he tested positive for THC. This isn’t his first offense—he’s got two prior impaired driving records, including a 2015 license suspension. The minivan he hit had only minor injuries. A life lost. A sentence that fits the recklessness. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
