Hate to rain on the parade but I see no confirmation in the article that they guy was drunk. An autopsy will show later, but no indication of where the guy was coming from (bar, or home) or if there were empties in the vehicle.
Also from the article:
“as they helped push their family’s broken-down pickup truck along a dark, narrow, rural road”
So, did the guy come around the bend on a 50mph road at night, not seeing them until the last sec? Were they blocking both lanes as they were pushing?
Believe it or not, I don’t think there’s enough info in the article to really conclude they guy was actually drunk or if the folks hit were out of the way.
It’s not like the “drunk’s” car ran up on someone’s lawn. Sounds like they may have been blocking the road.
Just saying because of my lack of trust in the press.
