Other Party from Collins’ Accident Dies
Yikes! An accident is bad enough; a death is horrific.
Back in October, 89-year-old Warren Gates allegedly didn’t yield to oncoming traffic and ran into a car driven by former TV host Gary Collins. While it was stated that the wreck was the fault of Gates, Collins was charged with a DUI.
Gates has been hospitalized since the accident and sources say he passed away on Friday. According to police officer Ana Aguirre, “It’s up to the coroners to determine whether Mr. Gates died as a result of trauma from the accident. There’s going to be a follow-up investigation after the autopsy is completed.”
Collins pled no contest to the DUI and will serve four days in jail.
Sad…so sad. Really, they should institute a maximum driving age or at least administer driving tests again.
