Arrest Made In Robert Schimmel Car Wreck
Police have finally released more details pertaining to the car accident that led to comedian Robert Schimmel’s untimely death.
The driver of the car that Schimmel’s daughter, Aaliyah, swerved to avoid has now been arrested after fleeing the scene.
Aaliyah was reportedly driving a Honda coupe carrying the comedian and his 11-year-old son last Thursday when the SUV driving in front of them crashed into the median. Aaliyah swerved to avoid the wreck and in turn flipped their vehicle over into a concrete drainage ditch. The driver of the SUV fled the scene and has now been arrested.
Schimmel died Friday, a week after the wreck, while Aaliyah had minor injuries and her 11-year-old brother left unharmed.
Let’s hope that this family finds peace after losing their father.
Do you think the driver of the SUV should be punished?

ET commented on Sep 07 10 at 6:07 amGod wanted Robert Schimmel. He put the cancer in his journey, and when that was not working he takes him untimely via motor vehicle accident. I sincerely hope that in time Aliyah can process it all, and have peace with her Father’s passing. I hope that she, and the youngster are not seriously injured. In accidents people are able to walk out of the vehicles, but still have lasting physical pains regardless.
