Police say alcohol is a suspected factor in the accident. If that’s true, this incident may involve more than just simply charging a driver and moving on. After a drunk driving accident, there also needs to be consideration for where that alcohol came from. When an alcohol provider such as a bar over-serves someone, they can potentially face criminal investigations, fines, license suspensions, and liability for the victims’ injuries. Did authorities look into that, or is there more to this story the victims and families involved have yet to hear about?
