The story was that he went home and had a few drinks. Since he left the
scene of the accident and was not given a road site test, there is no
evidence that he was driving drunk. He most definitely spent a few
hours drinking at a bar in town. Careless driving is a criminal code
offense, unlike careless driving.

When I heard that he had got rid of his share of the restaurant I
thought perhaps he no longer had anything to do with it. Then it seemed
that he was hoping to save it from the inevitable law suit. Later on I
was told that she was with him when it happened. so that makes her just
as bad as him.

I will if someone unconnected to the family buys it.
