Last September, South Dakota Attorney General, Jason Ravnsborg was driving home from an event, when he hit something on the road - a human being named Joe Boever. After the accident, Ravnsborg called police because he claimed that he thought he hit a deer in the middle of the road. The sheriff, who came to the scene, gave his personal car to Ravnsborg to get home that night. The next day, Ravnsborg discovered that he had, in fact, hit a human and not a deer.
After some investigation, it was discovered that the Attorney General had been distracted while driving, and Boever was not in the middle of the road at the time he was killed. Ravnsborg was driving on the shoulder when he struck Boever. On top of that, a released interview video of Ravnsborg revealed that Joe Boever s glasses were inside of the vehicle that struck him - indicating, Boever s face went through Ravnsborg s windshield.
