Scene of the Accident
Commentary:
With any kind of wrong-way accident, especially one where a person is driving the wrong way on a highway long enough to have several concerned callers make a report, coupled with the late hour on a Friday night, I can’t help but feel that alcohol may be a factor in the accident. While it is obviously illegal to get behind the wheel with a high blood alcohol content, believe it or not, selling alcohol to somebody with obvious signs of intoxication is an illegal sale. If the driver of the wrong-way vehicle was found to have been illegally sold alcohol, then the bar that sold it can, and should be held liable for their role in the accident. I see these types of businesses that can’t seem to follow the law no differently than an accomplice, and they need to be treated as such.
