Scene of the Accident
Commentary
Reports say this accident took place around two in the morning. If the driver was in fact drunk at the time of the crash, it’s possible that he was on his way home from a bar or similar establishment. If that’s the case, if he was out drinking, and if he were visibly drunk and not being cut off, then it’s possible the bar is partially liable for the accident. This of course wouldn’t excuse the actions of the driver. He was the one who chose to drink and drive, and he should be held responsible for that. But if a server is putting drink after drink into his hand when he should have been cut off, then they’ve played a part in that accident, and should also be held responsible.
