Some you commenting just automatically assume it’s alcohol and act like you are saints. Judge yourselves not others. This could happen to you being on prescription medications.
Slap on the wrist ridiculous low bond I don’t care if it his first offense he was probably only inches away from killing someone.
DUI covers drugs as well as alcohol, stoned on marijuana or other narcotics is DUI
We came upon this wreck seconds after it happened. They were both very lucky. Drunk driving is the cause of so many deaths. Hopefully he won’t try that again. Next time it could be much worse for another innocent person and possibly even children.
1500 bond. 150 bucks and he walks free. Someome who almost destroyed someone elses lift and hell get a slap on the wrist. Ridiculous
Anyone caught with a DUI should lose their license, period. Caused an accident or injury? Lose license and 5 years prison, no parole. We are not tough enough on these drunks causing societal issues.
Because idiots like this only care about themselves so why should we care if they sit in prison awhile to think about it.
Ppl still drive under the influence? Dang… This doesn’t need to be a thing any longer…. like NASCAR and hockey….
