I can not imagine waking up in a hospital weeks later, finding out you killed someone and having no memory of it. I know that had to be scary. Than doing time for something that may not be your fault is crazy.
😭😭😭 This broke me! I survived! I was hit by a drunk driver and he killed his passenger. I was the initial car that he hit. After hitting me, he hit four more cars. I was the only one hurt. He cut his ankle monitor off and ran. They just caught him 3/1/2024. The wreck happened 10/30/21. I just went out to get some snacks, so I could finish my final exam. I never made it back home. I woke up in ICU. I have no memory of the wreck. I go back and forth with trying to forgive him. He won’t accept accountability! I commend you for taking responsibility and just standing up. Thank you! I’m still in therapy. We are now preparing for trial. I hope he takes a plea. I don’t think I can handle it. My face is broken, both eye sockets are cracked, my nose is broken, and I had a severe brain bleed. There was no money, so I’m still jacked up. I didn’t set a go fund me up because I can’t take from people. I’m in pain every day. I’m suffering every day. Please don’t drink and drive. Please think twice! It can happen to anyone.
Wow I don’t even know how you made it through the episode. God has you here for a reason for sure. How much time you think he deserves?
@@TrappinAnonymous I can’t answer that question? It’s hard to want to see someone punished like that. After hearing her story it makes it harder. He’s only 23, a baby. My brother was 19 when they gave him 20 years. I know he’s scared. He’s facing 30 years and the DA told me Monday they are seeking 25 years minimum. 😭 That is alot time man 😭. I don’t know what to feel. I’m so angry but I want justice. 😭😭😭
@@TrappinAnonymous They told me, people don’t survive these types of accidents. I’m lucky to be alive and with minimum damage. He hit me going 100 mph. I remember standing in a field, I could feel the wind blow. I heard a voice tell me to wake up and I did. I guess it wasn’t my time yet. 😭 Just like she said, I keep asking questions. They won’t tell me anything. I got a video of my car and it ain’t no way I should be here. I was just going to the corner store. This pain it’s real. It hurts so bad. I feel like I should’ve been gone. I don’t know why I feel this way. 😭
Sending prayers to you 🙏 ❤️
@@naemathomas2564 Thank you.
My brother is currently going thru an extremely similar situation! He was 2 weeks shy of his 39th birthday when he got behind the wheel intoxicated and very tired. He dozed off at the wheel and hit someone who, as a result, passed away days later. This happened over 3 years ago and he has been in jail since. My brother is the type of person that wouldn’t intentionally hurt a fly and would willingly give the shirt off his back to someone else in need. His 1st time ever being in trouble. No prior history. He was offered 30 years for something he didn’t even know happened. He was told later on what had happened and was in complete despair and disbelief. Life literally happens in the blink of an eye and things could change for the worst with one wrong decision. Please, please, PLEASE be mindful of the choices you make. They really do change your life and the lives of others FOREVER.
WOW!!!! Do you know the exact time he has to do? & I would also say it happens through a collection of untreated bad behaviors. It’s important we continually work on ourselves so these moments don’t occur. Not judgement just observation. Because I am not exempt from anything said
He hasn't been sentenced yet, and he has been working on himself because this situation really had him in a depression. Knowing he is responsible for a loss of life has had a much different effect on him. He feels a lot like she does, like he owes it to the man to do something more with himself and his life.
His lawyers did say don't expect to get anything less than 10 years.
He needs to try a get a different lawyer 😢
@@tanyamckoy8959get a different lawyer for what ? To get a lesser sentence for killing somebody ?
This episode was so important to me because we all have either drank and drove or been in the car with someone who has. It’s not about the times nothing happens but the one time something does. Thanks for watching

Absolutely!
@@804RoRowoah!!!! I was waiting for that! Thank you.
So true
You are Absolutely correct- real life…..New subscriber!
Similar path. At 19 a drunk driver crashed into my vehicle. I was instantly made a paraplegic, broke all my face bones, knocked all my teeth out, shattered my pelvis, femur etc. Told I would not be able to carry children to full term. I walk fine now (Praise GOD), My husband & I have 2 beautiful boys and had no real problems for years after I recovered, until a few years ago. Had a few more surgeries recently. It’s the weirdest out of body experience, going from walking to not. It took my mind a day to actually accept my new reality.
I’ll never forget at my deposition, the RN who hit me said to me “I really hope you don’t allow this to weigh on you.”
It’s so frustrating when people show no accountability for what they’ve done. If u read the court documents online, it clearly states that she caused the accident after a night of drinking at a nightclub, not just randomly leaving out to grab something to eat. She should b a grown, remorseful woman and admit what she did was wrong due to her own actions and reckless behavior so she can move on. Especially since she’s done her time already 💁🏽
I agree & well said!!!!!!!💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Exactly! Does she not realize all the struggles that she went through after the accident was a result of her actions?? Why would she think that she is going to get any sympathy? This interview infuriates me!!
I never got my license partly because I failed the test but mostly because I’m scared of driving. Now my 16 yr old is studying for his permit and I’m terrified for him to drive. Like she said, so many things can go wrong in a car.
And we drive for others not necessarily for ourselves. You have to pay attention to everything
In my 20s......lets just say surely goodness and mercy! Lord, I thank you for every mountain you brought me over!
Thank you God for you Grace and Mercy
This episode infuriates me. Hits a little to close to home. My grandparents were in a horrible motorcycle accident. The lady ran over them twice and did not stop. She was driving under the influence as well. I took care of my grandma at 17 years old. I watched her struggle to breath due to her 8 broken ribs, I sponged bathed her because she had stitches on her head, I helped her to the restroom because her stomach was punctured, and I comforted her because my grandfather was still in a coma. He eventually woke up but died a year later due to the damage. The woman only got 7 years. She took a life she deserved life. This women has no remorse for what she did. She continues to down play how much she drank. You killed somebody and u aren’t even remotely sorry. You’re only sorry for yourself
Such a sad situation that occurred 😢 ppl please don't drink and drive
So much to learn here
Facts!
This interview paints a picture as if she was at home and simply on her way to way to dinner when she was involved in a minor fender bender…she said she remembers it being 7-8p.
The lawsuit that the deceased victim’s daughters filed (Google Latoya Barnes car accident) states she was leaving a nightclub and crossed lanes on the highway. And they weren’t found until 7ish am?!?!
Those are 2 different stories ma’am and sir. If I were his family, I would be LIVID watching her casually describe how she killed my loved one!!! 😮😮
Exactly!!
Exactly!!!! I don’t even know why she wasted her time getting on this platform. 30 minutes of her, talking about her pain and suffering. Although she failed to mention that was a result of her own actions.
7:48 She Knows What She Did …. Not Once In The Interview Does She Bring Up How The Alcohol Magically Appeared In Her System
She said her Alcohol level wasn’t high enough to be charged higher. 5:47. But I get it tho. Bc I’m confused myself .
But she also does not know how long they were out there & believes her alcohol level could have decreased in that time.
That part
She doesn’t remember anything past leaving the house.
@@ebonyrumseykeene2107 yeah but she drank before leaving the house
I feel like sometimes we are way too desensitized to certain stuff...in middle school my basketball captain passed due to riding w/ someone who had multiple duis ( he lived & 2 girls passed away). Has it stopped me from allowing my friends to drive us home intoxicated? NO. And even if that one friend is too drunk..the less drinker friend will end up driving.....its almost normal. We don't ride share responsibility in those instances and we have to do better. Thank you for this interview. ❤
That’s why I did this interview for exactly this reason. Thank you.
@@TrappinAnonymous thank you fr
My favorite RUclips channel. Keep up the great work 🔥
Thank u so much
Do you think you had more to drink than you remembered, fell asleep, woke up hungry and you thought it was 7p-8p but it was really 7a-8a?
This is exactly what I thought because that has been me in my younger days. Thank God I live in NYC where I can walk to the store instead of driving. Or lived on a college campus not far from a 24/hr Walmart. It really could happen to anyone.
Great question!!
She’s lying.
Well, she left leaving a nightclub. It wasn’t that she was out just getting some food. I just read it on Google. She’s taking no accountability and expecting sympathy when her own actions was a result of her drinking and driving! Can’t imagine how 63 year old Norman Favors’s family feels!?
@@thatswhatshesaid6326 ok, that makes sense. She said she was in her home and she decided to go grab some food, then she woke up in the hospital- so it was unclear on what had actually transpired.
This episode broke my heart.
Thank you for sharing this on your channel. I am a new subscriber.
Thank you
Man, thank you for your story. My heart goes out to you and the family of the one who lost their people.
❤
You’re a lot nicer than I am then. It’ll be a whole different story if she’s set up here and talked about the consequences of her actions. I’m not interested in listening to her talk about her struggles after the accident when it was a result of her own actions! I hear a lot of excuses no accountability. Not even exactly sure why she decided to share her story. She had left a nightclub! it wasn’t that she went out to get some wings. She was out partying!! Just Google it.
Thank you for sharing this story, condolences to the family, i pray that she forgives herself
idk but i feel like she is in denial of what happened .... the fact that you pretend to not know what happened after you left the house is insane...tf girl so you telling me you dont even remember what food you had or what bar you went into please.... she feels sorry for herself not the other person.
I had to stop and go to the comments a few minutes in to the video. Something’s not adding up. She seems so nonchalant and unaccountable for what happened. The comments tell the full story. She should be ashamed to not admitting her role in taking about her humans life.
In 2014 my friend took a xanax and she took her boyfriend food to his job but she never made it, she was so impaired that she pulled over to the side of the road and put the car in park to try to get herself together but she didn’t put the car in park it was in reverse, and she started to back into the freeway while cars were coming, a 18 wheeler ended up striking the back of her car and causing a domino effect of car crashes, the 18 wheeler who strikes her caught on fire instantly and the driver ended up burning he couldn’t get out. She was hit with a manslaughter charge, we actually met in prison. She was sentenced to 8 years in prison think and ended up doing 6 years.
Why were you in prison
What state did this happen in?
A very good interview 💯
Thank u
She is extremely brave for telling her story. My sincere condolences 💐 to the other party but alcohol is alcohol and any one of us could end up in this situation with just one drink. Only God can judge her. Thank you for telling your story.
Any of us.
Thank You, life is fast. God bless 🌹
Latoya- thanks for sharing your story and thanks transforming your pain into purpose. I was recently involved in a car accident which was a result of someone speeding and running a red light. I’m a living witness and i understanding how a split second / decision can change your life. I thank God for sparing my life. And I’m thankful to have walked away with just an ankle injury.
Listening to your story reminds me that I’m not alone and healing from trauma is possible. PTSD is real. I encourage you to stay in therapy. I encourage you to keep sharing your story because you are truly making a positive impact. Be well sis.
It's her breezing over the drinking before driving part..... ma'am 🙄 this interview seemed selfish. Rip to the individual she killed.
Ya it was how he was speaking directly about drinking and driving and she deflected it and said “texting and driving eating and driving a human behind the wheel can be dangerous “
@@sarahl4984 right!!!!!!!!
Right💯💯💯I think once she fully takes full accountability of her actions in regards to her drinking she will begin to heal & move on in my opinion!!!!!
Great Questions Asked & Lessons Learned from this 🔥
Thank u
Suchhh a good interview
Thank you.
This interview should’ve been longer. It’s like I’m missing pieces to this interview. 😩
Which piece lol
How the alcohol got in her system
I agree. I think we’re missing the truth. Just Google her name… she was leaving a nightclub and crossed the center line and killed 63 year old Norman Favors.
Blessing to Latoya! You have inspired me to make shit happen
This is one of the most important episodes you have made.
I ahree
I think it’d be a lot more effective if she was honest!?
I don't like the way she down plays her going to a club and drinking as if she had a glass of water and lost consciousness. She did more than going out to eat. If you read the details of her case it didn't happen exactly like she is describing it. She was intoxicated and drove into his lane. Don't forgot a father and grandfather lost his life. I don't believe she has no memory of anything. 7yrs for a life is wild.
Where did you find the case?
What’s the article ? Can you send a link here please
@@TrappinAnonymous I work for the court system and can see certain documents that I can't share. But you can go online and find the lawsuit the victims family filed against her insurance company. Working in a prison and screening inmates for 6 years and now dealing with defendants and trials....what I will say is her answers were too vague for me and she expressed little empathy. Your guest are generally very detailed in their stories and emotional. I know everyone is different but she was off to me but I understand why.
I noticed that as well!!!!! She def down played it....I think once she take full accountability of her actions she will began to know why it happened & really heal from it!

it would be crazy to find out she wasn't the cause
She was most definitely the cause of the accident she's trying to blame on everybody but herself
I dont think shes blaming anyone. i know she did i'm just looking at it from the point of no camera's capturing it is all.@@ShayonceEpperson90
@@johnniesmith721I’ve thought about this
I don;t think she was blaming anyone else for it. I was looking at it from a point of no camera's captured it but never drink and drive. BTW your pretty asf! lol@@ShayonceEpperson90
@@TrappinAnonymous that would be fucked up to spend all that time and it's not your fault. Who's to say he didn't swerve in her lane on accident. Did she even say what her alcohol level was
I’m glad It wasn’t only me, she’s not really addressing what she did. “I just went to get food” , realllllyyyy. I think it’s hard for her to verbally say “ I was drunk af, blacked out and took someone’s life”
I understand that a life was lost due to her actions. I just wish that she was allowed to recover more with a delayed sentence. Her health was still poor. She was never in trouble and took the plea in wanting to take accountability. I'm pleased to know that she made it thru the suffering while still that ill.
God is good despite it all
It it was my family who’s life was taken, I would wish her the worst. Her life changed but it ended another.
@@joyaustin6581shes not even taking accountability...kinda.
@@KenyaCoxxu obviously have a comprehension problem. The first sentences in the interview is her saying she doesn’t want people to end up in the same position etc
Thank you Father God🙏🏾
I find it strange she quickly dismissed witness accounts
I feel bad for her but worse for the family that lost a loved one. My thing is…..she left out A LOT of information. How does she not remember what happened BEFORE the accident? Like what restaurant did you go to? What did you order and have with your chicken? Did you have drinks when you were there? Also, for them to charge her what was all the evidence that was gathered? She didn’t say a word about that. She has selective memory IMO. I just have so many questions 😒
I sense a lack of accountability. I appreciate her coming on to tell her story and hopefully help someone else. She seems to remember everything else so clearly. Except how this accident happen and how she directly played a role in the victim’s death.
Yeah true this! I definitely feel that she knows her actions that lead up to the accident. She was obviously at home drinking alone & Excessively ! Or she was out somewhere drinking and hanging out then at some point in time made the decision to get up & leave somewhere getting behind the wheel of her car. She’s just too embarrassed to admit & speak that part.
God Bless
Seems weird. She should go to a hypnotist to revisit those suppressed memories.
Glad that I can’t stand alcohol, marijuana and vaping
It could happen if you’re tired or distracted.
There’s such a thing called blacking out while intoxicated
Not even 5 minutes in she’s not taking accountability & usually always the person intoxicated lives !
So sad that someone died because of her, no excuses Ma’am
My co worker told me yesterday he was so drunk he fell asleep @ light woke up to poilce sirens😂 yikes
This is my worst fear I refuse to drink and drive bless her heart 😢😞
Only God can judge. Prayers for both parties.
I don’t hear true remorse.
36:40 Do you forgive yourself? “I haven’t yet” - that was honest and I felt it & completely understood it. When you do ma’am, come and tell me how you did it! I’m still trying, too!!🙏🏻🥰
Why don’t you forgive yourself
@@TrappinAnonymous I had a wreck as well. There was a fatality. I wasn’t under the influence, but it’s hard to feel like you’re the reason. Great content. Kiki sent me to this channel! I am now subscribed and have been watching.
@@CrysG.who is Kiki? N thank u for engaging, I can’t imagine going through that daily. Remain strong, through Jesus there’s forgiveness
@@TrappinAnonymous KiKi Prime is a content creator that told us about this story and sent us here to watch. Thank you
The victim may have survived if emergency help would of came sooner, but I’m praying for both parties.
Very beautiful woman inside and out GOD BLESS YOU QUEEN ❣️❣️❣️
Why is this titled “why me?” When she knew she drank before leaving the house. She caused her own pain, unfortunately. It didn’t just happen.
🤔 she comes off untruthful and quite insensitive
Took us awhile to get to the part where she acknowledged drinking & driving, but she seems genuinely remorseful.
Thank you Jesus for protecting us 🙏🏽
🙏🏿
Amen
im also thinking somebody could have slipped her drink
AINT NO FCKN WAY I would be doing interviews if I was her. I would ne traumatized and in therapy FOREVER ❗
It was 10 years ago and wasn’t easy at all
I feel so bad for all the lives taken by a drunk driver, serial killer, or any other way😢
🙏🏾
yessss thats me. i dont play that shit with notbody
Does anyone know how old the victim was?
63
The person could have hit her as she was already wrecked. This is wild and sad.
Thanks for sharing your story!!!! I must admit I’ve driven home after having more than a few drinks 🍹 and I believe she did too. Memory loss is common in traumatic events however I feel she should just come out and say she was drunk.
U ever drove drunk n wondered how
@@TrappinAnonymous yes I have !!! God’s grace didn’t let me hurt myself or others. I just know she didn’t have only one drink and wingz.
🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️my god💔💔
She didn't deserve prison. She made a messed up decision. We all do.
DUI’s are the dumbest sh*t ever . As a grown adult why tf would you risk driving drunk .
Exacty😢why ppl scared to drive big ton vehicles I could never live with myself I don't feel bad for her😢
Styles FINE🥵🥵🥵🥵 okay bye lol
Thank you ❤
lol
Right??? He too smooth wit it ❤❤❤❤
Damn! They really just threw you in prison and you were basically disabled and with no help. Smh
Question is who was driving when accident happened 🧐
💖
I think she's blocking it out. She doesn't want to remember because someone passed away. It's so sad. But I think she has selective memory
🤔
How can I get my story on this channel?
“Loyalty over Love” is one of the most asinine notions I’ve ever heard. Loyalty is a placebo, it’s not real.
Your idea about loyalty is the most asinine notion I've ever heard of. Loyalty is ABSOLUTELY REAL...I stand on loyalty 100%
Ummmmm
@@autumnchisem6901 , dogs are loyal, and respect is real. “Loyal” wives and husbands cheat for years but a marriage with respect, someone will be honest enough to say it’s not working. Get your shid together, you’re lacking.
@@autumnchisem6901 ,standing on loyalty is the equivalent of standing on a solid cloud. My dog is loyal but knows no respect and if someone comes along with a better meat, the loyalty sheds like the fur on its back.
If a husband or wife cheats on their spouse then they’re not loyal dufus. Just because someone betrays someone’s loyalty doesn’t mean loyalty doesn’t exist. Your kind of stupid is rare and should be studied 🧐
This interview would be a lot more effective if Latoya would’ve taken responsibility and been honest during this. Not to mention the whole time she’s talking is about her pain and suffering. We don’t give a sh*t about that! Unfortunately, there’s consequences to each and everyone of our actions. No matter if it could’ve happened to any of us, it didn’t!! It happened to you! I don’t care that you were on a waiting list while in prison to go to church! How do you expect any of us to feel sorry for you as you sit here and go on and on about how hard your life was when your actions was the result of that?? This whole interview, infuriates me! Not exactly sure why she decided to talk about it!? Sympathy??
Here’s what I found out about her case;
The record shows that on the night of September 22, 2014, Barnes was driving home from a nightclub when her vehicle crossed over the centerline of the highway into oncoming traffic and collided with 63-year-old Norman Favors's vehicle, resulting in his death. Law enforcement arrested Barnes, and the State ultimately charged her with vehicular manslaughter and driving under the influence of alcohol. On February 12, 2015, Barnes pleaded guilty to those charges, and the trial court imposed a sentence of fifteen years, with seven to be served in incarceration.

@@TrappinAnonymous for future reference
I just can’t believe her … I believe it happened but she’s holding something for sure
It couldn't happen to most of use because a lot of us ADULTS are not that selfish to drink in drive.
I don't feel bad for her because she took a life because she wanted to be a drunk and drive. She should've did more time since she has so many excuses and have the nerves to feel sorry for herself. Also, eating and being a drunk in driving are not the same.
She need to be in prison she dnt care she killed someone
Accountability - she has to stop saying it wasn’t intentional. You intentionally drive under the influence of a substance - everything that happens as a result therefore was intentional
The interviewer irritates me, he asks weird questions & that doesn’t make sense. You can tell he be more so intrigued by the stories himself, and don’t be knowing good & logical questions to ask. 💯
Have you considered not watching the show?
I praise God everyday he allowed me to hit a parked car and not kill myself or anyone. It costs close to 10k and my insurance is high as a car note for the next 2 years.
They need to make alcohol illegal idk what anyone says. Alcohol withdrawal can literally kill you. No other drug does that! I haven’t picked up alcohol since. Please stop drinking and get to therapy to address why you are depressed/stressed and drinking. Please stop🙏🏽
Wow! Thanks for sharing
She doesn’t remember because she was drunk! She beating around the bush. She left out the serious part! How Alcohol got in her system?!?!?
I hate drunk drivers!
Shes lying, no remorse at all, she a psychopath
Ion know..... I feel like, maybe she didn't even dominate. I'm only halfway through. But no video no witness hours b4 someone noticed low levels of alcohol. 30 days til a detective notified someone was possibly on their death bed. 30 days is long time for someone to frame someone..... crazy the pound told her about the crash and not a cop.... something in the milk ain't clean baby!!!!!
I can’t tell is she in a wheelchair now or just sitting in a chair?
Im sorry she is no victim she was drunk af she was in the wrong
Ga. Laws are fucced up. Stay woke
Yup
You know, they say sleep deprivation is very dangerous for the mind and body.
Her body saved her. Im sure if she didnt pass out she would have died.
I love her! 😍 she fine af too lol
She lying study her body language
HER CHARGE IS NOT A FELONY. VEHICULAR HOMICIDE IS A MISDEMEANOR CHARGE AND A TRAFFIC VIOLATION, NOT A CRIMINAL OFFENSE. THE LAW IS TRICKY. PLEASE LEARN AND STAY WOKE
Ima just say this, sleep deprivation is very harmful to the mind and body and “staying woke” is a myth..and also the laws vary from state to state. If somebody drives drunk , the alone is a felony in 50 states. Facts.
Correction, not in all 50 states, instead it’s 46states that will give you felony charges for a DUI, but you can potentially be charged with a felony according to the situation in those remaining 4 states.
Yeah ok buddy .
It’s def a felony charge . Dont know what state you live in maybe not in yours .
Read the laws in your state.
She doesn't know what happened because she was drunk ASF!!!
She got arrested because she was in the WRONG..
She's a con artist,I see right through her
Why do u say that?
Rude. Who has she conned? Lol. 😂 ppl can b dramatic
I hate to admit, I'm feeling the same. I'm by no way saying that she intentionally did it, but she's definitely not taking enough accountability for me. No rip to the person who passed. No warning people about the dangers of driving intoxicated. Something seems off. Sad either way
