Tragic event that could have been worse.
Don't think that can be buffed out with Zaino though.

That woman was sure lucky that the other two guys helped her out. As for the driver of the Vette, hope he spends lots of time in jail.

They got the Nava woman on DWI, also, but the article's not sure if she drove a Ford or a Dodge.
Sad that repeat offenders continue repeating until they kill themselves or someone else.
