Ran a red light, now four are dead. All from the other car.

All probably grandparents returning from a graduation party.

Ban alcohol.

Doesn't say he was drinking, just said he failed a field sobriety test. Still a sad situation. Prayers for the family.

Headline says he was a town car driver. Article says he was driving a van.

If the van could transport 16 or more passengers, it would require a CDL. Wonder what was required.

Either way, this is likely to put the company out of business.

Article does not say that he had been drinking alcohol, but did state that he failed a sobriety test. One can only wonder what intoxicants were in his system... Well we will wonder only until the blood test results come back. Vehicular manslaughter. Ouch, what a way to wind up in prison.
