The people who were hit by the drunk driver are my sister and her companion. One is still in the hospital and expected to be released with a severe injure while the other is home now. Full recovery is expected. The drunk driver was tested and blew over twice the legal limit and arrested with no apparent injuries to their person. A big thank you to the first responders for taking care of my sister and her companion.
I’m glad they should be OK. May they have short recoveries!
They should throw the book at the drunk.
the drunk driver is getting charged with a felony
