It isn’t clear right now if authorities believe the alleged intoxicated driver was drunk or under the influence of drugs. Just after midnight, it’s quite common for this sort of thing to occur while someone is on their way home from a bar. But without further evidence, it won’t be clear whether or not authorities are taking steps to address any factors beyond a individual allegedly intoxicated driver.
