      What’s it matter? Unless the driver claims the car suddenly started driving itself and stomping on the gas as it steered into the median against their efforts, why would you suspect any foul play? Article doesn’t mention anything about anyone’s bac. But it is a very short leap to make an assumption when a crash happens around when the bars close from a group of people in their 20’s.

        It matters because that’s what you implied. I wanted to know if you knew something I don’t. I didn’t make any claims about foul play. I didn’t assume anything, but it seems you might have made some assumptions.

          You’re in a thread chain that started about a guy saying the crash doesn’t sound like an accident. I never said anything that looked like I knew some fact.

            For what its worth, I agree with your analysis.

            My point was just that you are responding to me as though my question is somehow a challenge.

            I can see how you might have interpreted it that way, but its also just not what I said at all.
