Toxicology reports that were released today show that Kevin Ward Jr., was high of marijuana on the night he was struck and killed by a Sprint Cup NASCAR driver Tony Stewart, Ontario County District Attorney Michael Tantillo was quoted Wednesday.

At a news conference to announce that a grand jury had refused to indict Stewart in Ward’s death, Tantillo said the level of marijuana in Kevin Ward’s system was “enough to impair judgment”. In other words, Kevin Ward was getting stoned out of his mind prior to the race starting. This is absolutely terrifying consider the high horsepower and light weight of these sprint cars.

Later Wednesday, the Ward family indicated it was not satisfied with the decision to clear Stewart and said it will “pursue all remedies in fairness to Kevin.” Most likely this will come in the form of a civil lawsuit.

Kevin Ward Jr. gestured at Stewart’s car as he walked down the banking of Canandaigua Motorsports Park under caution during an Aug. 9 race. He was killed of blunt force trauma from the impact with Stewart’s car.

Tantillo said there were two charges submitted for consideration by the grand jury against Stewart: manslaughter in the second degree and criminally negligent homicide. He said neither received the necessary votes from thegrand jury to charge Tony Stewart. The grand jury heard the evidence and deliberated over three days.
