It happened on Sunday morning just after 5:00.  His blood alcohol level
was 0.24 or so, about 2.5 times the legal limit (these figures may be
sketchy, because I heard different figures from different sources).
He was also a fast driver, and if you saw his car, you can bet he was
going really fast.  Apparently, though, he wasn't a big drinker.
He was (is) 26, by the way.
