Not enough info given to intelligently answer this question. Why was he charged with "Agg Assault" instead of a traffic violation? What was his intent in hitting that specific other car? Did he know someone in it, or was it a completely random choice? If he was "trying to kill himself" why is he being charged at all, instead of committed for mental observation?
