A doctor from CMC will not have to serve jail time in connection with an accident he was involved in. The accident killed a man in 2012 when the doctor hit the vehicle after crossing the center line on Rea Road in Charlotte. The impact caused the victim vehicle to hit another vehicle head on, killing the driver of that vehicle.
The doctor was initially charged with misdemeanor death by vehicle. An investigation did not reveal the doctor was intoxicated at the time of the accident. The prosecution offered to plea the charge down to unsafe movement. The doctor accepted the offer and was fined $100.
