The Florida Highway Patrol says Orange County Mayor Richard Crotty's son was involved in a car accident that left a child seriously injured.

Richard Tyler Crotty, 17, was behind the wheel at about 4 p.m. Wednesday when his red Hyundai collided with a black van at the intersection of Judge and Daetwyler roads in Belle Isle.

The van's 9-year-old passenger, Abigail Horton, who was riding with her mother, suffered serious injuries in the crash and and was taken to Arnold Palmer Hospital. Her mother, Kristie Horton, 38, of Orlando, was treated for minor injuries at Orlando Regional Medical Center.

This isn't the first time Richard Tyler Crotty has been in the spotlight.  Four years ago, he made national news when the then restless 13 year old was seen yawning and fidgeting behind President Bush when he paid a visit to Central Florida.  The incident even caught the attention of late night talk show host David Letterman as seen in this YouTube clip:

What does ONE have to do with the other..
Are you perhaps suggesting that this individual has a problem with nercolepsy and that THAT might explain the accident??

I notice that the story about the accident doesn't clarify definitively who was at fault although the statement ;

"Richard Tyler Crotty, 17, was behind the wheel at about 4 p.m. Wednesday when his red Hyundai collided with a black van",,

would SEEM to suggest that it was his......

i heard on the news beer was involved, 12 pack open bottles..6 broken prob due to the crash. Does the mayor not teach his child that underage drinking, and driving is illegal?
Considering this is the minor child of a prominant civil servant...........throw the book at him, and make him pay alot. Set an example for others that this WILL NOT BE TOLERATED

That kid deserves what any other kid would get and no special favors just because he is Crottys boy.

Yep, little Crot's got some
serious issues ahead of him.

You got a little girl with
possible brain damage and I'll
be damned if he doesn't get special
treatment for who he is and of course, the
Daddy Crot's deep pockets.

LOL @ the vid, I forgot
how many times he actually yawned,
stretched or looked at his watch!

He said to Letterman that it was his
overwhelming excitement about meeting
the President that made him act
like this...what?
