Drunk Driving Dad Faces Jail In Daughter’s Death

He cost his daughter her life because of his drunk driving accident.

Now, he’s going to prison.

Authorities say 47 year old Wilburt Thomas was drunk and high and  driving a stolen van on I-94 near Inkster road in Romulus when he hit a car on the shoulder of the road

and then rammed into a fence.

His 7 year old daughter thought her father was dead … grabbed a backpack … got out of the car and tried to text 9-1-1 as she walked away from the scene.

She was hit by a woman who was driving eastbound on I-94.

Thomas agreed to plead guilty to a manslaughter charge and is facing up to 15 years in prison.
