sounds more like, "don't know if alcohol was involved" to me.

How convenient.......
I mean think about it, there was no way to get blood during a surgery of a pertruding compound fracture.

Its not that ridiculous to think he was probably drunk, no tests were taken, so they don't know.

We have two tests we use when the driver is alive: The Intoxilyzer 5000 and a blood test,” Harper said. “Obviously we couldn’t administer the breathalyzer because the driver needed to go to the hospital. And when the officers got to the hospital to request a blood test, he was already in surgery and by then it was too late.”
so if i were to be pulled over after drinking the best bet is too stab myself and be rushed to the hospital

Read it carefully.
They couldn't do the blood test because of the immediate need for surgery. I don't think the test would be very accurate if they just soaked up a little of the blood from the floorboard of his car.

this is pure bullshite... they had to have drawn labs when he arrived at the hospital. Since he was a major trauma victim, the Doctor would have probably ordered a trauma panel which would include drug and alcohol tests. Even if they did not order on the spot... they already had plenty of blood drawn from the safety labs and could have easily just tacked on the tox screens from the blood in lab.

the article stated that after evaluating the scene and interviewing Jones and the passengers they had no reason to believe alcohol was a factor. That enough more me to assume that it wasn't a factor, absent a test.

Not sure but there might be some 4th Amendment constitutional constraints for illegal search and seizure here.
They would probably need probable cause, or possibly a warrant to proceed. If the investigation did not turn up and probable cause then they may be limited procedurally

medically you would need a tox screen though since it could affect the medical treatment... I'm not a health professional yet, but I worked in the ER for years and all traumas got tox screens and BAC.

It may be necessary medically, but that does not mean the government has a right to seize it under the constitution.
I'm not sure the exact law, would take some research, but there are definitely some constitutional concerns, especially if there was no probable cause developed at the scene

probably some HIPAA issues as well...

was thinking about that earlier when reading this thread...seems like society has shifted towards an assumption of guilt, and even when evidence is presented otherwise, they think it's tainted. It's the Reality TV generation I guess...

I wonder if it is more likely to be texting and driving. These young kids just don't realize that texting is probably as deadly as drinking and driving. My prayers are with him anyways.

I think we are just too used to athletes behaving badly that we almost expect it now... we have been burned over and over over the past 10 years. I know I have a much more cynical attitude towards professional athletes these days.
