A Hubbard man ordered to never drive again after being convicted for the hit and run traffic death of a teenage girl, was back in court after it was discovered that he had obtained a new drivers license.
William Demidovich served a six year prison term for the accident that killed 14-year old Kyrsten Studer. He also lost his driving privileges for life. He was ordered back to court after officials learned that he was issued a new license.
His attorney said Demidovich made a terrible mistake by believing that once he had completed his sentence he could apply for a new license. He surrendered his license to the court and told the judge that he would never drive again.
The sister of Kyrsten Studer says that still doesn't explain why he was issued a license to be back behind the wheel.
"It's in the court docket; 'permanent revocation'. He knew, and his attorney knew he wasn't supposed to be driving. That's not the issue. The issue is the gap in the system. Why was he still able to to apply for the drivers license and receive it?" asked Sarah Studer.
The court says it did notify the Bureau of Motor Vehicles, however the BMV has stated that it has no record, even though another attempt by Demidovich to obtain a license in 2010 was denied.
Studer says the family has yet to receive a satisfactory explanation. They worry that this could happen again to some other family.
