Authorities said they suspect the Hyundai driver was under the influence of alcohol at the time. This hasn’t been confirmed, but it wouldn’t be surprising this early in the morning. I’ve had hundreds of cases involving drunk drivers, and most of them are late at night or early in the morning, since that’s when people are coming home from bars.
That’s why it’s important to find out where the alleged alcohol came from. It could be that a local establishment unlawfully over-served the driver, which could mean that there’s both a drunk driver and a negligent alcohol provider responsible for these injuries. Have authorities looked into that, or is there more to this story not getting the attention it needs?
