Not sure it was posted last month but upsetting to say the least.


Sugarphreak pretty much sums out the story:

So one drunk driver inadvertently took out a VW, and then another driver who had obviously had more than a few? Got to love Alberta.

Foothills is more for critical injuries/really serious stuff. Heart Attack patients go there as well when the heart attack is critical.

Cheers,

I'm still struggling to understand how this affects my real estate holdings or personal finance.

He suffered catastrophic internal organ damage. From what I am told Foothills can only handle such patients.

Did the people die? The article says serious condition.

[thetransporter]

^yes he was taken off life support - he didnt have next-of-kin to notify the public. I know this from someone that was at the Foothills.

Marlborough Park. Coincidence? I think not.

If you can't afford insurance or reg, there is no need for you to have a car or a drivers lisence. Same goes for being drunk and driving at 2 in the afternoon.

So sick of the kind of people allowed to wander around the city. I'd be 100% in support of publishing the name and picture of everyone who gets charged and convicted with a drunk driving offense and notification of their employer. Anyone who gets convicted of no ins/reg gets a huge flag on their driving record that prohibits operation of a motor vehicle for work purposes and automatic loss of lisence.

From what I read, the second "drunk" was just above 0.05 and his license was only suspended for 3 days. He was a victim of both the real drunk and Alberta's new driving laws.
