Bassist for the group 3 Doors Down, Todd Harrell was arrested late Friday night and charged with vehicular homicide following a deadly crash in Nashville, TN.
According to police, Harrell was driving at a high rate of speed when his car clipped a Ford pickup truck, which then went out of control, struck a guardrail, traveled down an embankment and overturned.
The driver of the pickup truck was not wearing a seatbelt, and was transferred to a nearby hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
Wow! It appears the band member was under some influence.
TMZ reports:
Harrell showed signs of impairment during field sobriety tests and admitted to police he had been drinking hard cider and taking prescription Lortab (a painkiller) and Xanax.
While being booked at the jail, Davidson County Sheriff’s deputies say they discovered a plastic bag in Harrell’s sock that contained more Xanax pills along with Oxycodone and Oxymorphone pills.
According to the site, Harrell was charged with vehicular homicide and bringing controlled substances into the jail and is being held on $100,000 bond.
This isn’t the first car accident this guy has had. He was arrested last year for DUI for an incident in which he also crashed into another vehicle.
Jeezusss!
Hopefully Harrell gets his act together. Our thoughts and prayers are with family and loved ones of the victim.
