Columbus OH resident Matthew Cordle (22) created a YouTube video confessing to driving under the influence. His actions led to killing 61-year-old Vincent Canzani on June 22nd, 2013.

According to USA Today, after a night of “drinking really heavily” Cordle decided to drive home in his truck. During his route home Cordle veered off into the opposite lane of Interstate 670 where he struck Canzani’s Jeep killing Canzani instantly.

In the heartbreaking YouTube video, Cordle confesses saying he takes “full responsibility” for his poor decisions and hopes to bring peace to the Canzani family. Cordle also mentions how his struggle with depression and drinking led him down a dark path.

At the end of the video, Cordle pleads to viewers in memory of Canzani to not drink and drive. He “begs” to save each other by not following in his footsteps.


Franklin County prosecutor Ron O’Brien made a CD copy of Cordle’s video to use as evidence in the case against Cordle. USA Today states Cordle was a suspect in the crash. Cordle could be charged with aggravated vehicular homicide with alcohol specification. With this charge Cordle could face up to eight years in prison.
