‘Police believe alcohol was a factor.”
isnt it a little irresponsible to say that w/o mentioning which drivers may have been under the influence? or was it both?
And based on what evidence? “police believe?” that’s pretty vague no when we have medical tests to determine intoxication levels?
isnt it a litte unfair to the folks involved to not say which driver
