There seem to be so many accidents in Southern Maryland. Whether it is alcohol, drugs or distracted driving. The result is the same. Too many tragic fatalities. Police can’t be every where all the time. I do wonder how the police believe alcohol was a factor. I doubt a blood alcohol test was done on the deceased. Perhaps there were witnesses that saw the person drinking. Or, is the use of alcohol an opinion based on the circumstances?
You’ve probably never been around someone that was drunk enough to drive on the wrong side of a highway, but they tend to smell like a distillery
a tox screen will be performed.
Probably was alcoholic beverage bottles/cans in her car
The car was intoxicated, cars fault
Good point!
What is the point in publishing the name of the other driver? What possible purpose could this serve? Why does the public need to know the name of someone who was minding their own business when struck by a drunk driver going the wrong way?
How do you know she was drunk? There’s no FACTS that support that. Until an investigation is completed we should not say anything we are not sure of. Very very sad though.
Literally right in the article, read it before commenting
Exactly. Sad for the lady who was driving on wrong side? How about the poor guy, minding his own business and driving in the rite lane !
The article said “alcohol was a factor”, didn’t say “drunk”. The police, specifically Crash Reconstructionist, spend hundreds of hours in training learning how to determine the “contributing factors” of crashes.
Really????? If alcohol was a factor, and she was clearly driving in the wrong direction, she indeed was drunk, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that one out
Do you drive the wrong direction sober?
Any updates on the man that was sent to the hospital?
