Commentary on Single-Vehicle Accident on CR 2434 in Cherokee County
Anytime alcohol comes up in reports, it raises some glaring red flags. As on top of things as police might be in those scenarios, though, there is often more to the story they tend to overlook. For example, many accidents at this time of the morning involve people coming from local bars or other establishments. If evidence shows such an establishment illegally over-served the driver, that establishment can be liable under dram shop law for their role in the accident. Maybe nothing like that happened here, but getting people the help they need means getting them the facts. There could be more to this situation that authorities have yet to address.
