No further details can be confirmed right now, but what little information there is paints a concerning picture, to say the least. Even with such a serious charge, there could be a lot more to this story. For example, if the intoxicant was alcohol, was the alleged intoxicated driver illegally over-served by an alcohol provider? If they were, that means the alcohol provider could also be responsible for contributing to this deadly accident.

Unfortunately, that’s not something authorities tend to look into on their own. Once there’s an intoxicated driver facing charges, they tend to move on to other investigations. That’s why I wonder if there’s more to this story. Have authorities here continued to investigate what all happened here and who all may be responsible? Because if they haven’t, they may be letting an accomplice off the hook for their role in a deadly accident. That’s not something any family should have to see.
