Data collected from Richardson’s vehicle showed that he was traveling at a speed of about 56 mph just before the fatal crash as he drove southbound on 900 East, where the speed limit is 35 mph, charging documents state. “As I was coming down here I saw him start to pull out in front of me,” Richardson told authorities, according to the charging documents. “I shouldn’t ...
