031714 MAN SENTENCED FOR InTOX MANSLAUGHTER
On March 17, 2011, DPS Trooper Oelsner was on routine patrol when a vehicle passed him going the opposite direction at 98 miles per hour. The trooper turned around on the vehicle and stopped it. The driver, Daniel Freund, had no excuse for the speed he was doing. Oelsner, who has seen to many fatal crashes in his career, spoke harshly to Freund. He told Freund that he was going to kill himself or somebody driving like he was. He told him he was a young inexperienced driver who would to end up losing his license (costing him almost $2000 a year) or his life if he did not change his habits.
On March 14, 2012 Caney Creek Fire Department was dispatched just after 2 a.m. to a reported major accident in the 12800 block of FM 1485. MCHD was first to arrive on the scene and found a 2002 Saturn that had struck a utility pole. The vehicle snapped off not one but two utility poles that were paired next to each other. In addition, the top of the pole snapped, leaving 35,000 volts hanging overhead. Fire crews called for additional help from River Plantation Fire Department, Using three sets of tools it was a joint effort between firefighters, MCHD medics, deputies with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office and wrecker drivers to free the two teens from the twisted metal mass. After almost an hour, with the high voltage lines hanging just over their heads they were able to free the two and start medical care.
The male driver is Daniel Freund, 18-years-old. He was transported to Ben Taub Hospital in Houston in critical condition.
The female passenger has been identified as a 16-year-old Halie Mcdonald a Caney Creek High School student. She was transported to Hermann Hospital in Houston in critical condition with a severe head injury, internal injuries, and broken bones. She was pronounced dead a short time later.
Due to fog, the Air Medical Services were unavailable at the time.
Troopers investigated the crash as Entergy workers stood by to start making repairs and to restore service. DPS Trooper Oelsner who stopped Freund the year before was one of the Troopers investigating the crash. Early investigation shows the vehicle was southbound at a high rate of speed when it entered a curve. Running off the edge of the road, the vehicle slid sideways into the pole.
The posted speed limit in the area is 50 m.p.h.
On May 11, 2012, Daniel Freund was arrested and charged with intoxication manslaughter.
Monday morning Daniel Freund appeared in court. It was the morning that jury selection was to start for his trial this week. However, a call from Freund’s attorney to the District Attorney on Sunday with an offer that Freund would accept a 5-year sentence. A finding of a deadly weapon (the vehicle ) was added to it. With a deadly weapon having been found, Freund will spend at least 30 months incarcerated before even being eligible for parole.
Donna Kinser, Halie McDonald's grandmother recalls the morning of the crash. They were preparing to go to the hospital as a family member was having surgery. She missed a call from the hospital and when she called back could not understand why t was Hermann in Houston. She was then told Halie had been brought there after a crash. She raced to Hermann and was told by a doctor coming out of Hailey’s room that she had just passed. He explained that her head injury was just so bad that they were unable to do anything with it.
She recalls waiting, wondering if anything would ever become of Freund. They were prepared to start attending the trial today when the phone call came last night that Freund was going to plea to five years in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
She said she was not really happy with the sentence as the man who pulled the donkey was sentenced to about the same. But then also she understood a jury could have possibly given him probation.
Ever since the crash, not a word was spoken to the family from Freund, not even an “I’m sorry”.
She said as he was shackled and cuffed this morning she was satisfied that he was finally going to prison to be held accountable for his actions.
She still has unanswered questions as to why Hailey was in Freund’s vehicle without her shoes, socks or cell phone. Any other time if Hailey thought a driver may be impaired or was not comfortable she would call her grandmother to pick her up.
Another friend, Morgan, who attended the party that night a boy's house whose parents were out of town. She said alcohol was supplied but only remembers one-shot, Hailey only had one shot also. After that Morgan said she did not know what happened as she passed out. She awoke at 630am, unsure where she was and hearing of the crash with Hailey.
Freund will be eligible for parole in thirty months, he has 5 days' credit currently. However, being eligible and making parole are two different things. Parole can actually put off the decision due to conduct in prison, friends and family fighting his parole or on their own account.

We had a high school student killed his 2 best friends in a DUI crash, did only 4 years. The day he got out, the grandmother of one of the 2 boys ran him down right in front of his house and killed him. Said she got justice for her grandson. Waived her right to trial and pled guilty. She told the judge she had stage 4 colon cancer and wasn’t worried about prison.

Scott, I am 50 years old, spend 15 years of my life as a fire fighter and medic, this is the best, most well put together videos on not just this accident but on why you don’t speed and obviously drink and drive. This could have easily been me when I was 16 and a passenger in a speeding car. It is scary, she was probably terrified, and he was being a complete a$$hole. I am so sorry for her family and his, though the nut doesn’t fall far from the tree.
I like that they took the wrecked car to the high school. Give the kids a dose of reality, kind of like saying, "your friend died in this. Remember this and make good decisions." Prayers for both families and that the driver has learned his lesson since I'm sure he's out by now.

In 1987 a friend of my brother was killed by another friend in a drunk driving crash. The car the two young men were in was placed on the front lawn of the police department for several days. This was something not done in the 80's but our small town PD knew they had to send a shocking message to the young people who knew both families. The young man driving did serve some time. He was and is a super guy. He was young and made a terribly painful mistake. Today he's a talented carpenter with a college-age son and I'm proud of him.

It's a 50/50 coin toss she could have been driving him and killed him he just so happened to be the one who was driving everybody in that car is at fault for that accident.

Yeah because if you shoot someone or stab someone to death that's called murder not manslaughter. There's a difference because they're different.

Little Haley is just as guilty as being drunk and making a piss poor decision as he is the only difference is she's dead and he's alive. They could have just as easily had her drive that night and him ride shotgun and then the scenarios would be flipped.

Accidents are situations unavoidable. What this individual accomplished was a series of conscious decisions that led to consequences that were avoidable. Chances are he will never accept responsibility for his conscious decisive actions.
The heartbreaking thing about this accident is that no matter how many Kids see it , they are still going to continue to party and drive , I have seen this type of tragedy before as an ex volunteer first responder on the fire department. Honestly a mva intox should be mandatory to start out at 25 years as a minimum .
How was he able to drive away from the first traffic stop? Driving 98mph where I live would get you arrested for reckless driving, multiple moving violations and have a huge ticket and fine. If they had actually "punished him harshly" as the D.A. stated when he was stopped for speeding and reckless driving his passenger would still be alive. Clearly they aren't making a lot of progress with reckless and drunk driving in that area given the list on the telephone pole. It's really sad that so many young people die way too young.

You can’t do this in Virginia. He’d have jail time in Va., but in many other states if you haven’t had any prior tickets you can usually get that first ticket reduced. Unfortunately, he went from a 98 mile per hour stop directly to this huge accident. Unfortunately, the law just doesn’t move fast enough to keep some people off of the road.

When I lost my daughter in a traffic accident, there was no alcohol involved, no real errant driving involved. She lost control on a drizzly, foggy night on her way home on a two lane road. She was hit near head on by an oncoming semi, hauling chickens. Speed of the truck was not too fast for conditions. My baby was over driving her tires. I circulated a petition about speed , alcohol and punishment. Not because of what happened to my daughter, but because of what happened to a few of her friends where those were involved. The petition called for above 25 over the posted limit, 90 day suspension of license, 30 days incarceration. The FIRST time. If alcohol/drugs in use, 1 year incarceration. The FIRST time. More than one conviction alcohol/speed/accident involved, revocation and a minimum of 5 years. That's if nobody dies. Anyhow, didn't gain traction...thought it was too harsh. Damn bureaucrats. Sorry for the vent, sorry for losing Hailey. The boy needs to pay more, for certain.

His parents must’ve had big money, big connections & a big name. The place where I used to live, DWI is not a crime from the sheriff to the DA to the judge.
Okay that goes too far. They are accusing the driver of kidnapping.
There is something seriously wrong with our (in)justice system!!!

IT IS SICKENING TO KNOW THAT HE WILL COME HOME AND BE FREE AND HER PARENTS WILL MOURN HER FOREVER AND MISS HER AND THEIR LIVES WILL NEVER BE THE SAME...I HOPE HE SUFFERS MENTALLY, HE SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO DRIVE AGAIN.
The DA must be drunk too for this killer to get 5 years when it should be at least 20
I watching this in 2018 and my heart break hearing and watching this, I see this every year at our city funeral home where there about 8000 kids at the highschool!
I like the way the video was made......hopefully EVERYONE GETS THE MESSAGE!!!
I appreciate what you do, I only wish there were more people out there to do the same.... It would be a blessing for families out there that has lost a loved one
How did anyone come out that.

After commenting about needing tougher DUI-death laws, how many of you say down and wrote your senator/governor concerning this matter? Did you get a petition together ? Did you advocate for the cause? Did you completely forget about the matter when you went on to the next video? Just askin'

Its not "DUI murder" DuI and murder are two entirely separate crimes in TX. DUI applies to a person under 21 driving under the influence. They get a ticket for it. Murder is a felony in which you intentionally killed someone. This guy committed neither. He committed what's called intoxication manslaughter. Meaning he killed someone while driving drunk,which is negligent, not intentional. Do some research before accusing people of things that don't simply exist or is inaccurate
I know it's hard for y'all but if she was in the car with him then y'all should press charges on him
Why is the interview with the ADA so god damn quiet? I have to put the phone speaker in my ear to hear the man. I'm well aware that voices have to be kept low in the courthouse. Just asking if when ya upload to KZread, are you able to up the volume?
He served 2 1/2 yrs...while her family got a life sentence of grief...so unfair and avoidable! 2 1/2 yrs is not “harsh”. In my opinion it was a slap on the wrist. His reckless behavior KILLED someone. SMH
I nearly got rear ended by a kid driving a Ford Truck who was barreling up behind me on the slow lane of Loop 336 just after you get off I45 towards the shopping centers. I had to literally dodge and weave out of his way. I had my lane change signal on but this kid had no regard for the signal. I was lucky I didn't flip my truck trying to avoid him at 45mph when he was doing probably 60 plus. The sad part for him was I ended up passing his lame butt at the 105 intersection he was sitting at to go left, probably heading back to College Station. I see it all the time with these kids driving these expensive rides they didn't earn ending up getting themselves into a whale of trouble they have zero concept about. The trooper was dead on right, if you want to show your cahoonies on the road like you are all that, be ready when you do screw up to pay the price of your stupidity.

+Peter F. Guilty as charged here too.. I was doing sixty in a forty five zone. I probably shouldn't have been going that fast but I had felt off the entire day and was tired. Anyway, it was about 11:30 at night when I got pulled over. I just kept a cool head and did what the officer who pulled me over asked me to do. The whole thing probably lasted not even five minutes. At the end of it I shook the officer's hand and told him to be safe because I know what these guys and girls deal with now. I guess the best thing you can do is learn your lesson and try not to do it again.

I hate that the victim's family were left with a lame plea deal for the DUI Driver. That's not a fair and equitable deal for the family. My son was killed by a drunk driver and there is yet to be any action against him due to the courts and DA being backlogged due to COVID19. Like this grandmother says, this is the most soul crushing loss of life because it's 100% preventable. 2 bars overserved the driver, so I sued them both for wrongful death and though I won all those civil cases, I am still hanging on to hope that justice will be served to the driver. In the meantime, since the crash 9/29/2018, he has been out living his life while we have suffered the huge loss of my son, a wonderful, kind and generous human being. I miss him every single day and still have those images from that day burned in my head. I've got PTSD now and have suffered with illness ever since. This is the devastation from driving impaired and the laws and punishments need to be stiffer if we are ever going to get a handle on the problem.
I don't care how long that kid had been driving or how old he is, he should have gotten at least 20 years and lost his listen for another 5 years! when you cause someone's death you should not just have your hand slapped! I'll bet his parents either have a DUI or maybe an accident like this! just the fact they paid a bunch of money to get him a light sentence tells me they don't care for the dead girl at all! OH yeah I almost forgot, the owner of the house where they consumed the boose should be charged with something also!

When I was in Gr11, our local TV station’s weatherman held up his son’s death certificate & talked about drinking & driving by teens. I’m not sure who started it, but there was a local group that was called “Car/nage” started within months of the 4teens deaths. Glad to see the car parked in front of the school. My 1976 grad was the first in my city’s history to not have any deaths related to drinking & driving.
Need to leave that car there and take the whole have out to see it.
I wish he did take his license.

This won't be the last time for this guy.
I think as teenagers we have this feeling of feeling invincible. I did a lot of speeding and street racing when I was young, but I had been driving since 12! I had a lot of experience, and I'm not saying it is right, but I had skill. Most kids these days have 0 experience in regards to high speed. My dad taught me how to drive in his 69 Olds 442. Now, that car took skill to drive. Most of these newer cars are tin cans on wheels. No handling, no traction and no brains to drive. And they are capable of insane speeds! I don't race anymore, and I thank God I didn't wreck back in the day, but I now realize the danger of driving recklessly. I now know you not only risk your life but everyone elses on the road with you. Stay safe 👍
You know, I think the age limit should be increased for driving priveges. At sixteen, a young mind doesn't take on the importance of safety like an older one. I don't know what age is best. Maybe 18? Now, of course, I didn't feel this way when I was 16 back in the 70's. But things are much more advanced and the pressure of getting there faster has increased. There are so many more vehicles. Cars are built more cheaply. Substances more available. I just don't know how to change things. It is so sad. RIP Hailey.
They were all drunk, no one should ever drive drunk and no one should ever die. The parents thought she was home they didn’t even know she wasn’t there?? Yes he was wrong but he wasn’t 100% wrong, she got in that car, I truly believe she wasn’t forced and got in his car on her own especially after hearing her friend say they were playing beer pong and took a shot. Should he be punished sure he should but she should have never been in his car. Prayers for All involved!!!

That's a good cop. It's not what the uniform IS, it's what is in the skin of the uniform. All people are INDIVIDUALS. Never judge a person by their appearance, or be judged already.
People in general drive too fast... in cities and on open highways.
Young people listen to me please. If you drive drunk nothing good will come from it. Call your parents to come get you and for God's sake throw the keys in tall grass and walk. Promise your self you will do this. Thank you! Lifetime ahead for you.
My daughter was killed by a drunk driver in 2005 ,He got 30 . Every time he went up for parole it was denied. I am glad he got such a harsh punishment.
Cop gave him a good break and a chance to learn a lesson. I see the kid did not learn. He should have gotten the ticket. Damn shame
