Driver in deadly Hubbard hit and run crash has license to drive
More than 10 years ago, a deadly hit and run accident in Hubbard claimed the life of a 14-year-old-girl. The man behind the wheel was ordered to never drive again.

HUBBARD TWP., Ohio - More than 10 years ago, a deadly hit and run accident in Hubbard claimed the life of a 14-year-old-girl. The man behind the wheel was ordered to never drive again.
But it seems the case has slipped through the cracks of the justice system and the man is once again valid to hit the roadway.
"We don't care about him. He's not a part of our lives. What we do care about is if he were to do this to anybody else," said the victim's sister Sarah Studer.
In 2004, William Demidovich gave a tearful apology after pleading guilty to hitting and killing 14-year-old Kyrsten Studer while under the influence.
Demidovich was sentenced to six years behind bars.
Trumbull County Court records indicate a judge ordered him never to drive again.
An attempt, in 2010, to have his driving privileges reinstated was denied.
So why do driving records show, that as of at least April, the year 81-year-old Demidovich is valid to get behind the wheel of a car?
"I am not saying the legal system is at fault. I'm not saying the B.M.V is at fault. I'm not saying the insurance companies are at fault. All of them should collaboratively be working together to establish some type of system where this doesn't happen," said the victim's father Bryan Studer.
The B.M.V. tells 21 News they are simply the record keeper of what the courts give them.
The Studer family says the courts have told them they've sent the paper work multiple times.
21 News tried to reach out to the courts Wednesday during normal business hours but, did not hear back.
A copy of Demidovich's driving record obtained from the B.M.V shows the accident from April 2003, but does not indicate any conviction or punishment from the court.
"This office thinks they are doing their job, this office thinks they are doing their job. They are not working together to make sure the job is getting done," said the victim's mother Jenifer Studer.
21 News tried to get in touch with Demidovich and his attorney but, were not successful.
A status hearing on this case is scheduled for next Thursday.
The family says they're not looking for revenge. They just want to make sure what may be a clerical error doesn't turn into someone else's tragedy.
