Jury convicts Troyer in cafe crash case A jury on April 6 found La Jollan Ronald Troyer, 66, guilty of all charges relating to his Aug. 15 crash into Cass Street Café. He is convicted of driving under the influence of marijuana, reckless driving causing great bodily injury, hit and run, and driving with a suspended license. Five people were seriously injured in the incident. Judge William Kronberger, Jr., set sentencing for May 4 and Deputy District Attorney David Uyar said the maximum sentence is 15 years in prison. Jury deliberations, which began April 5, lasted less than three hours. The incident happened at about 7 p.m. at the café, located at 5550 La Jolla Blvd. A number of witnesses testified about their broken bones and other injuries that were sustained when Troyer’s 1984 Chrysler jumped the curb and hit teenagers on the sidewalk. One teenager was dragged by the car to the café. She suffered a broken pelvis, arm and leg. Troyer’s attorney, David Thompson, told the jury his client had a seizure while driving. “All he is guilty of … is driving with a suspended license,” he said, adding there is “not enough evidence” to show he was impaired by marijuana. Uyar said “seizures don’t make you a liar,” reciting false statements Troyer made at the scene. He claimed his car was stolen, and then said he wasn’t the driver, even while trying to take documents from the car, Uyar said. Uyar told jurors that Troyer failed sobriety tests at the scene, and that he was warned by a doctor not to drive. Troyer remains in the Vista Detention Facility with no bail.
