The Defendant was the driver of a vehicle that caused a rear-end collision with 4 other vehicles. Four occupants of those vehicles as well as the Defendant were transported to the hospital for various injuries. The DUI officer responded to the hospital, as the initial officer on scene felt that the Defendant may have been impaired. The DUI officer also noticed the odor of alcohol coming from the Defendant and because the Defendant was in and out of consciousness ordered a blood draw at the hospital. The Defendant’s blood contained .17g% of alcohol, more than double the legal limit. DUI charge dropped on the day of trial.
