Not sure why everyone is assuming she was the one drinking.

She may have ran the light but that could have been for any reason.

The girl was a 4.0 student, nominated for student of the year, about to start at LSU with a goal of attending law school. Could she have made a bad decision and had a drink, maybe... But going off what her character seems to be, I'm not certain yet she was the one with alcohol in her system and simply made a mistake running a light.

If I had to guess based solely on what is publicly known, because the other driver was both not named nor booked for intoxication. You'd think if the other driver was under the influence, they're getting booked the same night.

Most definitely. And most of us have ran red lights, whether they turn red going through or don’t want to stop late night (especially in Nola). Just sad and a good chance to remind kids to be careful. Anybody, any age, really. No judgment here.

Yet, you're willing to essentially say that about the other driver, whom you know nothing about nor have any evidence to support that they were the one under the influence. You also ignore logic and reason. We know one party in the accident (not verified completely, but is the most likely scenario) ran a red light. We know the other driver had a green light. We know at least one party in the accident was under the influence. We also know that, as of right now, no one involved has been arrested and/or booked for DWI.

This isn't just directed at you, the immediate blame of the other driver began within the first few posts of this thread. That is unfair, IMO, especially given what facts we do know.

I think some people want it to be that the other driver was drunk. That probably gives them some relief or softens the blow of this terrible incident in some way. Laying blame elsewhere keeps from having to admit that the girl, most likely, made a terrible decision, one that there is no coming back from.
