As per reports, officials believe the driver of the sedan might be guilty of drunk driving. Pending a final verdict, the suspect could face criminal charges of varying degrees. Different factors including blood-alcohol levels, the brutality of the crash, the extent of inflicted injuries, and previous convictions could determine the severity of the charges. DUI is a serious crime and should not be taken lightly.
