Commentary
If it's true that alcohol contributed to this accident, have authorities looked into where that alcohol came from? Many drunk driver accidents involve people who were unlawfully over-served by a negligent alcohol provider. Those alcohol providers can then be held responsible if their over-service leads to people getting hurt or killed. But if authorities focus only on the alleged drunk driver, they may end up letting that negligent establishment off scot-free to continue putting the community at risk. If nothing else, those harmed by drunk driving deserve to see all wrongdoers held appropriately accountable.
