Washington County Superior charges Henry Lamb, of Charlestown, with counts related to an accident July 12 on Beaver River Road, Richmond, that killed Kimberly Barbera. Henry D. Lamb, 21, 70 Columbia Heights Oval, Charlestown, is accused of driving under the influence death resulting, driving to endanger death resulting and driving with a suspended license. He was named on September 12 in a secret indictment, which means it was not the result of an arrest by the police or a complaint to the District Court. Judge Bennett R. Gallo set bail at $15,000 -- $5,000 for each count --- and accepted recommendations from the Attorney General's office to order Lamb to undergo substance-abuse counseling, submit to random drug screenings and refrain from using alcohol. Even though Lamb's license is still suspended, Gallo ordered that Lamb not drive while he is out on bail. Lamb posted the cash bail earlier today. A pretrial date was set for Nov. 2. The police said Lamb was traveling north on Beaver River Road in Richmond shortly after 7 p.m. on July 12 when he lost control of the 2008 Yamaha motorcycle and struck a tree and rocks. Neither Lamb nor his passenger, Kimberly G. Barbera, were wearing helmets. Assistant Attorney General Steve Regine said that Lamb was traveling at least 55 miles per hour in a 25 mile per hour zone and had a blood alcohol level of 0.150 -- the legal limit is 0.08. Both were taken to area hospitals for treatment. Barbera, 20, later died of her injuries.

Did anyone actually investigate why he lost control? It's not always the case that alcohol is the cause of an accident. However hard that might be to believe.
