Cokinos, who was 23 at the time of the accident, was speeding, 56 in a 30-mile-an-hour zone. The subsequent seven-month investigation found Cokinos, not guilty of negligent driving or contributing to an accident, the investigation also concluded the accident would not have occurred if Cokinos had been going the speed limit.
