Heath T. Bakken, 28, had been diabetic since he was 12 and until recently was housebound in a wheelchair, according to his father, retired police detective Paul Bakken of Des Moines, Iowa. His son wore leg braces and special shoes due to an earlier injury, Paul Bakken said.
I'm sorry but he shouldn't have been driving.
