George, Mark, and four other friends have planned to go out drinking for the evening at several
nightclubs about 45 miles from Centervale. George has offered to drive the group in his Pontiac
Bonneville. Although there are not enough seatbelts for everyone, the group piles into the
vehicle and venture out for a night of fun on the town. Several hours later, after visiting three
bars, Mark drives the group to the next bar because George has had too much to drink.
Unfortunately, Mark has also had too much to drink, which causes him to lose control and crash
the vehicle.
When emergency services arrive on the scene, Mark is not seriously injured and is able to give
details of what he believes happened to have caused the crash. George is seriously injured and
is life-flighted to a trauma center along with another friend, one friend is deceased, but still
seat belted in the car, and one friend who was thrown from the vehicle, sustained moderate
injuries.
Highway Patrolman Green suspects' alcohol might have played a role in the crash and asks
Mark to perform a series of field sobriety tests. Mark fails the tests, and is arrested and charged
with DWI. Mark awaits his Initial Appearance in court, while the Highway Patrol Reconstruction
Team reconstructs the crash, calculates the approximate speed of the vehicle, and determines
other pertinent facts.
The Highway Patrol Officers review the case with the District Attorney before Mark's initial
appearance. It is agreed that Mark can be charged with reckless driving, speeding, four counts
of felony assault, and one count of involuntary manslaughter. Mark's toxicology tests revealed a
blood alcohol level of .21 and further evidence shows he was driving at 75 miles per hour at the
time of the crash.
