Plea closes case of crash involving executive
AUBURN HILLS (AP) -- A man whose car crashed into a vehicle carrying Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson has pleaded guilty to two driving violations.
Patterson was seriously injured in the August crash in Auburn Hills and didn't return to work for nearly three months. His driver, James Cram, is a quadriplegic after the crash.
Anthony Prainito pleaded guilty last Thursday to failing to yield and was fined $125. He also was fined for failing to wear a seatbelt. He had been charged with causing serious impairment of a bodily function, but that would have required Patterson and Cram to release their medical records. They declined.
