Two drunk driving accidents occurred in the same Maryland spot recently: on Route 222, where it meets Interstate 95 in Perryville.
Around 11 p.m., a woman leaving a nearby casino struck two vehicles. She has been charged with negligent driving, failure to control speed and driving under the influence. The other cars suffered minor damage, but luckily no one was injured.
Less than two hours later, another, more serious, accident sent two people to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center, when Wesley Smith drove a Hyundai Sonata into the rear end of a Chrysler 300 in the exact same place.
Neither Smith nor his passenger were wearing seatbelts. Smith is listed in stable condition, while the passenger is listed in critical condition; the two people in the second car were taken to Harford Memorial Hospital with minor injuries.
Smith has a Delaware interlock restricted license, meaning his ignition is linked to a Breathalyzer to prevent him from driving drunk, but the Hyundai he was driving in this accident actually belonged to the passenger.
The investigation is continuing and charges will almost certainly be filed. Smith should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law—there is no excuse for this kind of ridiculous and dangerous behavior.
