Seat belt use might have saved comic Sam Kinison
The Associated Press
NEEDLES, Calif. — Comic Sam Kinison might have survived a headon collision had he been wearing a seat belt, the California Highway Patrol said yesterday.
Kinison, 38, died Friday evening when a Chevrolet pickup traveling at 70 mph struck his Pontiac Trans-Am on a two-lane desert highway near the Nevada-Arizona state line.
"Mr. Kinison and his wife didn't wear seat belts, which may have saved his life," said CHP Officer Don Woelke. Woelke said he didn't know if the driver of the truck was wearing seat belts.
Kinison had slowed his car to 25 mph, creating a crash impact of 95 mph, the CHP said.
The comic's 27-year-old bride, Malika, was released Sunday from Needles Desert Community Hospital, where she was taken with a concussion. She was moved to an undisclosed Los Angeles hospital, said Kinson family representative Debbie Baker.
"Mr. Kinnison had observed the vehicle coming toward him and began to slow down," the officer said. "He slowed down just prior to impact and it appears Mr. Kinnison may have tried to begin moving to the side of the road."
The San Bernardino County district attorney will decide after Friday whether to file felony or misdemeanor charges against the youth, said Woelke.
Moments before the crash, the 17-year-old driver of the pickup veered over the double-yellow line to pass traffic, the CHP said.
"He had been drinking. There were beer cans inside the truck," said Woelke. He said blood tests wouldn't be available for about a week. A custody hearing will be held tomorrow.
The Las Vegas youth was arrested for investigation of vehicular manslaughter.
Kinison will be buried Friday in Tulsa, Okla., said his publicist, Florence Troutman.
