Just for clarity, I think the title of the thread should be renamed so people don't assume that Cole Norman was killed in this accident.

With so many people from the board being involved in racing, I wouldn't want a friend or aquaintence of his to see the title and think he died.

It didn't lead me to believe he died.

that was a good one.
Not to make light of the situation, but I don't follow Oaklawn and the other southern tracks he works at, so I have really don't know much about him.
Just thought it might lead to some people thinking the fatality was him.

I have to admit when i glanced at the headline in the DRF this morning that was my first thought....when I read it more carefully I realized I was wrong but I think it COULD have been worded differently...

Norman is "in tight".. This will likely be a vehicular homicide charge in short order. It also comes on the heels of a domestic incident that went largely unreported late last year.

Yeah, apparently people had already called in to the police to report his erratic driving before the accident occured.

So its blatantly obvious alcohol and or drugs were involved, much like the Frank Loabocetta incident last year. Sad story. Woman was in the wrong place at the wrong time and if she was driving at 86, she probably kept herself pretty healthy for that age. Just terrible stuff.

It's a shame he didn't get help. Now people are suffering due to his problems.

Still awaiting blood tests but considering there were already calls about him driving erratically it is tough to imagine he wasn't under the influence of something.

not sure of the laws in LA, but if Byk is right and CN is "in tight" he needs to thanks his lucky stars...

RIP to the lady and her dog.

I thank God everyday there was no one else involved in my accident. Had I killed someone...no way I could have lived with myself...I would have gone insane, no doubt.

Kev,

It happened in AK.. By 'in tight' I mean he's in big trouble.. I don't believe he's got anything to be thankful about.

I hang out with some guys who've know him and have horse's with him. When I went to Oaklawn this past year he'd have a few beers with us if he didn't have anymore horses running that afternoon. Never seen him drunk but he'd put a few back and not act drunk or anything. Co Co is what they call him and I've heard them talk of some "good ole Boys" stories from L.A. Downs of years past so anything is possiable.
