Drunken-driving victim dies 7 years after accident

PAINESVILLE: An Akron man who served 18 months in prison for a drunken-driving accident that left a teenager paralyzed may face a charge that the accident eventually killed the victim.
James Dye, 46, surrendered to Lake County authorities Friday eight years to the day after he struck Rob Arnold, then 14, as Arnold was picking up mail from a roadside mailbox. Arnold died in December.
A grand jury indicted Dye on a vehicular homicide charge last month after authorities connected Arnold's death to his injuries.
Dye was released without posting bail.
The maximum penalty at the time of the accident was five years, but changes since then could double the term, said Mark Bartolotta, an assistant prosecutor. A judge will decide which version of the law applies.
The crash left Arnold paralyzed from the neck down, hooked to a ventilator and dependent on home nursing care.
Arnold forgave Dye at his sentencing.
Arnold died in December.
