Anyone know the victims or the driver?

Terrible tragedy. RIP to the victims and family members.

Friend new the girl who passed. very tragic.

Very tragic indeed. They should publish the faces of those who are caught driving drunk in the paper to shame the people who do it. Too many people getting caught and right behind the wheel just days later. Unfortunately, no matter how you enforce it there will always be a small group of people who will do it regardless of the punishment or consequences. One of the big reasons for having self driving cars in the future.

Very tragic, worst part is that most of the time when this happens the fucking Drunk driver gets away with minor injuries.

Strict penalties and banning driving for life should be there. The victims don't get a second chance, why should the driver? Tragic.

Fuck that shit.

Two people choose to be safe and take a taxi home to get murdered by a drunk?

That's brutal.

Very brutal. One 25 year old woman being driven by a taxi home and they are both killed. RIP.

I 100% agree with this and tbh it needs something this harsh to teach people a lesson. A temp driving ban will do nothing. This bastard just destroyed 2 families and the worst he'll get is a driving ban of some sort.

My GF worked with the deceased, such a sad story. As already mentioned, they tried to be responsible and it cost them their life - so sad.

Slap on the wrist for the driver pretty much guaranteed

Kill 5 people while drunk = 3.5 years. Kill 2 people while drunk = probably 1-2 years tops?

This is the kid. Friends on facebook saying he stopped drinking 3-4 hours before driving so he wasn't completely "wasted".

I'd say that's BS. He got charged with impaired causing death, which means he was over .08 at the time of the accident. You would have to be past blackout drunk to register over .08 after you've stopped drinking for that long.

Unless he's a functioning alcoholic, if he was at 0.08 at the time of the blow/blood test, he was probably fall-down drunk. I know you aren't defending him, just saying. The fact that he was 0.08 or more 3-4 hours after is even worse IMO.

Maybe it's a different accident (which I hope not because it means there's a pattern), but I heard the driver was texting about how awesome it was they were driving drunk.

I work at the same company as your GF then, just in a different department. I saw the Jillian just last week. Fucking brutal.

Not that I'm defending him, but BAC continues to rise after you've stopped drinking because the liver can only process so much at a time.

I think you're misunderstanding how it works. Alcohol gets absorbed and into your bloodstream. The liver process it from your bloodstream. The rate that the liver metabolized alcohol will determine how fast your BAC goes down. It'll just keep going down.

The only time BAC continues to rise is if you have a slow or delayed absorption rate, but that window is more like 30 minutes (ie having a shot before leaving). Common DUI defense tactic.
