The man responsible for the deaths of five Mennonite children in a Washington car accident gave tearful testimony Wednesday while on trial for five counts of vehicular homicide, according to the Spokesman Review.
Investigators have suggested that the driver was suicidal before the Washington auto accident, was fumbling for his cell phone, and was driving erratically.
The car accident defendant said he had a bad cough the weekend before the accident and medical experts say the crash may have been caused by a “cough syncopy”, causing the driver to pass out and lose control of the vehicle on November 1, 2005. During his testimony, the driver said he had another coughing episode on November 18, 2005 that ended with him fainting and collapsing.
The driver remembers only moments before the Washington auto accident, stopping after he rolled down a window to cough and spit and setting his cruise control at 60 miles per hour.

A bus crashed Saturday while carrying a Special Olympics team from Kennewick home from a skiing trip, according to the Tri-City Herald.
38 passengers, including 17 volunteer coaches, were on board the bus when the Washington auto accident happened. A slow-moving tanker truck veered off the road, which was wet and icy, giving the bus no way to avoid the car accident.
The bus crashed into the trailer then tipped down an embankment and landed on its side. 14 Washington auto accident victims were taken to a local hospital to be treated for their injuries.
