Was the male charged with driving under the influence? If so, he seems he would have a good defense. If you need further help, you can email me at [email protected].

Re: CT Underage Drunk Driving

What happens depends if the 18 year old is charged with anything. If a search warrant is obtained for the blood trst results taken at the hospital, the 18 year old can expect an arrest for DWI and a suspension of his operating priveledges. You dont say if there was a 2nd car involved and who was injured (driver or passenger). Civil lawsuits can be expected if more than a 1 car 1 driver accident
