Teen Pleads Guilty To Tampering Evidence At The Scene Of A Fatal Accident

Posted by John Foy on June 22, 2012

Austin Lott, one of the three teens involved in the fatal accident that killed Hannah Gilmer, pled guilty to tampering with evidence. According to his father, he changed his plea at the last minute.

Lott told the court that Clayton Qualls asked him to remove items from the car after the accident on County Line Road in Columbus. The driver has been charged with DUI and vehicular homicide. The other teen was also charged with tampering with evidence, but bonded out of jail.

Car accidents are becoming more and more fatal, especially when alcohol is involved. The CDC estimates that alcohol-related car accidents in the U.S. cost approximately $51 billion.
