HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — A state police report has concluded that the wife of longtime ESPN broadcaster Chris Berman had a blood-alcohol level three times the legal limit when she rear-ended another man’s car, killing them both.

The Hartford Courant reports that police determined Katherine Berman was speeding and did not apply her brakes before crashing into a car driven by 87-year-old Edward Bertulis. State police closed the investigation without filing any charges because both drivers died.

Bertulius was on his way back from visiting his wife’s grave at the time of the crash on May 9, 2017, in Woodbury. The family of Bertulius has filed a lawsuit alleging that a Woodbury restaurant served alcohol to Berman while she was intoxicated before the crash.

An 87 year old being behind the wheel is scary enough.

Doesn’t really surprise me that the biggest boozehound at ESPN was married to a boozehound.

If alcoholism were to take human form it would look something like Chris Berman so this can't really be a surprise

She also had oxycodone and anti-depressants in her system. She was loaded.

I hope Berman's estate has to pay his family everything. I have no sympathy for drunk drivers.

So you can't issue a dead person a ticket? WTF. This is money talking right here. Its hard to tell a old person is drunk because they don't hoop and holler like a 30 year would, fricked up. I didn't realize somebody else died in the crash. Thought Berman's old lady ran off the road, which would of saved a life.
