It may just be my (mis)perception, but it so often seems that the impaired drivers in these kinds of incidents somehow manage to survive, while the sober, innocent bystanders are maimed or killed. :(

I'm happy he survived to face charges.

Local rumor says he was pulled from the truck with cell phone in hand.
 
I know this sounds harsh, but if he was going to launch off Coronado, couldn't he have waited until he was over the bay? That's a big *advertiser censored* bridge, just horrible luck he hit where he did :(

Oh brother

People attending the festival were able to get the badly damaged truck upright,


crash caused so much chaos that both the Coronado and Harbor police departments were called in to help.

"It was like a movie. It was like in slow motion," Dameron said. "Where it hit, there was dust and debris and instant chaos and panic. People running crazy."
Sepolio suffered major trauma

How sad this i I bet its gonna becasuse he was texting - and congress has to hold meetings to determine if texting and driving are unsafe - what a bunch of morons?

What do we think would happen 30 years ago if we pulled over casue we were typing while going 75 mph senseless
 
“I was sitting on the steps of the stage and the truck came over my head,” said Gomez, who lives in the L.A. suburb of Covina. “It hit the front end, bounced and landed on its side.”

aren Hoffman, a flight nurse who is married to Gomez, said she scrambled to the crash site, but there was little to do for the people who had been in the booth. She said she tried to comfort the driver as paramedics and investigators made their way to the scene.

Another witness who identified himself only as James said he and his girlfriend were struck by some of the metal, wood and other materials that went flying once the truck nose-dived into the booth.

By nightfall, people were creating a memorial to the dead with candles and flowers.

I saw the truck coming at me, and if I hadn’t run, I’d be dead,” Jimenez told the newspaper. Her companion, Pedro Sanchez, was one of several men who rushed to lift the pickup off the dead victims.

I feel sorry for him, That does not translate to me forgetting about all the others . His BAL came back at .06 then in hospital 0.8 For some reason I believe he was cut off. Sad story all the way around IMO

The BAC IMO has always been a crock. I figure 140 lbs - it comes to three drinks at the time of crash.

When did he last eat?

He looks like he was in shape, impacting body processing of alcohol.

Was it a free pour establishment?

I would think their would be a recipt of the tab which could be very telling.



has anyone ever heard of anyone getting alcohol poisoning after 4 drinks or dying. The basic notion is that 1 drink is expelled every hour, and we do have to know times what time did he leave or stop drinking. At exactky what time was each test given.

But to be talking about death after those numbers has alway seemed ludicrios to me IM O.

He sure looked oriented to me in the video right after they extracted him.

If someone were going to drop dead , due to alcohol toxicity it would have to be around the time when the maximjum concentrates were hit.

If ya think about it if you had 8 drinks and did not drop dead after that point you levels are going down, He is alive, which tells me he did not drop dead from alcohol poisoning!

Toxicity is basically about respiration - it has never made sense to me that ones respiration would get so bad after no longer drinking - its counter intuitive IMO.
