Defendant’s statement
The complaint indicates Combs remained on the scene — and admitted to driving the car. He told deputies “he was at a red light when a Chevrolet Malibu drove past at a high rate of speed. The defendant stated that once the light turned green he began to travel at approximately 40 miles per hours and observed the Malibu now swerving in front of him and trying to cut him off. The defendant stated that he tried to brake and lost control sliding towards the median wall.”
Witness statements
Witnesses told investigators a different story about what happened at the crash site. The complaint says one witness told them “he was traveling northbound on 145 when he observed the Honda and a silver vehicle approach his position at a high rate of speed. That witness said “it appeared they were racing.” A second witness also indicated the two vehicles appeared to be racing.

Accident reconstruction
A member of the accident reconstruction unit conducted a download of the air bag control module in the Honda. The complaint says the “download indicated that the Honda was traveling at approximately 107 miles per hour, at approximately 4.5 second prior to the impact. The Honda was traveling at approximately 76 miles per hour at approximately .5 seconds prior to the crash.” Officials also determined “the car seat (for the child) was not attached to the car as there was no damage to the connections or belt.”
A further review found Combs ‘ “driving privilege was suspended for multiple failure to pay fines as well as a driving record suspension effective November 22, 2017. In the last five years, the defendant has been cited 11 times for operating with a suspended driver’s license.”
Combs made his initial appearance in court on Saturday, Feb. 23. Cash bond was set at $50,000 — and a preliminary hearing date was set for March 5.
