Elliot Binney faces accusations of manslaughter for allegedly abandoning his 16-year-old daughter to fate in a rollover car crash. While formal charges against Binney are yet to be issued, he finds himself under arrest due to what is deemed fatal negligence.
From Huffington Post:
According to the outlet, responding officers found that Binney’s daughter, Shelby, had been ejected from the vehicle.
Investigators said the teen girl was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the accident. She was later pronounced dead at the hospital.
Binney’s wife and two elementary school-aged children were taken to the hospital following the crash.
According to News on 6, police said Binney’s car flipped over after he lost control while speeding and passing other vehicles in a no-passing zone.
Bixby police Chief Todd Blish told News on 6 that Binney left the scene on foot immediately following the crash, then grabbed a second vehicle from a “family-owned business” to flee.
According to the outlet, police were able to track down Binney’s second car and located him almost 50 miles away in Checotah, Oklahoma.
Body-camera footage released by the Checotah Police Department shows Binney in a gray pickup truck. In the footage, police pull over Binney and tell him to exit the vehicle.
Given the high likelihood that this guy was probably under the influence and left his own daughter stranded at the scene, it's safe to say he deserves to be arrested and, ideally, hit with manslaughter charges.
