A man driving a truck was stuck in a ditch, partly blocking a lane on a highway when another driver failed to stop and hit the truck. The driver of the second vehicle sustained minor injuries while the passenger in the truck was seriously injured. After investigations, it was found that the driver of the truck had a
BAC of .12%, which may have caused him to drive the vehicle off the road and into a ditch. He has been charged with a DUI and a misdemeanor first offense.
