Per reports, the man, later identified as Mark J., was reportedly stunned when he woke up at the bottom of a ravine after a drunken crash to find the body of his dead girlfriend next to him, but instead of calling 911, he decided to ‘do something unusual’. He reportedly faced charges of negligent homicide, DUI and other offenses related to the drunken crash that killed his girlfriend, 20-year-old Ciera.
Reports explain that Mark reportedly took his girlfriend on a joyride down a narrow canyon road and because he was drunk, he was unable to properly navigate the already challenging one-lane dirt road. At one point during the drive, the man said he lost control of the vehicle and caused it to roll off the road and fall 200 feet into a ravine at the bottom of the cliff. The woman was ejected from the vehicle and died, and Markj blacked out during the crash, reports Fox 13.
Early the next morning, hours after the crash, Mark finally came to and noticed the woman’s body outside of the vehicle next to him. After touching her to get confirmation she was dead, Mark decided that instead of immediately calling 911, he would drink the beers he still had with him. Nearly an hour and a half after he awoke to the tragic scene, Mark stumbled out of the car and got to a place with cellphone service so that he could call 911. First responders arrived at the scene and declared the woman dead, and police discovered an empty beer case and partially finished bottles in the debris.
Mark was taken to the hospital and treated for the injuries from the wreck. A breathalyzer test at the hospital revealed Mark’s blood alcohol content was 0.000, but due to the evidence found at the scene followed by his admission, Mark was arrested and charged for the drunken crash. Ladies and gentlemen, we are republishing this story in light of recent reports that suggest deadly car crashes spiked ‘a scary amount’ in the past year.
