Five People Involved in Christmas DUI Accident

Alcohol ruined Christmas for five people in Tacoma when a man thought to be driving under the influence caused a head-on collision. Although the man's identity has yet to be released to the public, officers with the State Patrol did say that he is a 35-year-old man from Tacoma who was driving a BMW before being arrested on driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

The driver of the other vehicle involved, 22-year-old Maura Senecal, had three passengers in her SUV: Connor Senecal, 24; Clare Senecal, 19; and Aidan Senecal, 16. All are children of Dr. Frank Senecal, a well-known oncologist in the area, and wife Mary. The family lives in University Place. Everyone in the SUV was brought to Multicare Hospital; a spokeswoman later commented that Conor and Clare had already been released while Aidan and Maura are currently in satisfactory condition.
