A Florida man, 33, accused of causing the death of a woman and severe injuries to her boyfriend after drunkenly forcing their car off the road due to mistakenly thinking his ex-girlfriend was inside, informed a judge on Thursday that he had no recollection of the incident.

The apparent case of amnesia came up during Kyle Hill’s first virtual appearance in the Sixth Judicial Circuit Court on Thursday.

Speaking to Circuit Judge Philip Federico, Hill stated that he had no memory of the act that allegedly led to the car of 35-year-old Norbelis Figueredo-Campos and his girlfriend, 28-year-old Arislenni Blanco-Medina, being run off the road and crashing into a concrete pole. Subsequently, the pole collapsed onto the couple’s vehicle, resulting in the death of Blanco-Medina and severe harm to Figueredo-Campos.

During the court appearance, Hill asserted his inability to provide responses to the court’s inquiries, as shown in footage from the courtroom obtained by WFLA, the Tampa NBC affiliate.

“Apparently, your car is not in good shape after the accident situation, was that paid off?” Federico asked, referring to Hill’s pickup truck that was upside-down following the crash.

“I don’t remember anything, sir,” Hill responded.

As previously reported by Law&Crime, police say that after Hill and his ex-girlfriend had an argument Sunday night, she hopped in a car and left with a friend.

Hill then allegedly jumped in his own vehicle and drove south on 34th Street near 30th Avenue North in St. Petersburg in search of her. Hill then spotted a Honda which he thought she was riding in and allegedly proceeded to “aggressively” chase and harass the Honda for several blocks, police said.
