COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio driver who made an online video confessing that he caused a fatal wrong-way crash after a night of heavy drinking was charged Monday with aggravated vehicular homicide.
In a 3½-minute video posted last week, Matthew Cordle admitted he killed a Gahanna man and said he "made a mistake" when he decided to drive that night.
"My name is Matthew Cordle, and on June 22nd, 2013, I hit and killed Vincent Canzani," he says somberly. "This video will act as my confession."
Cordle was expected to turn himself in on Monday afternoon and is scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday. Franklin County prosecutor Ron O'Brien said Cordle faces up to 8½ years in prison if convicted.
