The woman and her baby were taken to a local hospital and released a short time later. Their names have not been released.

Commentary
The woman who rear-ended the vehicle at the intersection needs to be held responsible for what she’s done. That’s clear. She drank and chose to get behind the wheel of that vehicle. That’s on her. But I wonder if anyone else were involved in this accident. At that time of night, it’s not hard to imagine the woman on her way back from a bar. If she were out drinking, was visibly drunk, and being served regardless, it’s possible that they would be partially liable for the accident. If they were serving this woman — or anyone, really — only to have them go out and get into a wreck, then they would have played a very real part in that accident, and should also be held responsible. It’s possible that this accident didn’t play out that way, but it’s worth looking into.
