Scary stuff when someone is drunk at that time of day and driving, lesson learned? I think not!

This guy was driving in and out of our students on their way to school.
0.116 at 1130 with the rollover at 0820.

We should all give thanks we're not mourning this morning.
My thoughts and prayers are with the CVU community that is.
