Okay, there seems to be a full-court press of media articles about the young woman and her injuries and fund raising. Other reports note the drunk driver fled and then was arrested. I JUST SPENT NEARLY 30 MINUTES SEARCHING FOR IDENTITY OF THE DRIVER AND MORE INFO ON TICKET OR ARREST AND CANNOT FIND ANYTHING. Not a word about who the driver was. Nothing. Very odd. Anybody read about this and have more details?

My thought is that the drunk driver was either an illegal alien or a public or well-known person.

“The driver of the other vehicle was ticketed for careless driving with serious bodily injury, according to the police report.”

Was he actually ticketed for drunk driving? Should be attempted manslaughter.

Sad. Aside from the Disney Is Evil angle, I imagine a lot of 22-year-olds (and their parents) would be pretty darn excited by an internship at Disney. So young, with so many possibilities before her, and now this happens.

I’ll go out on a limb and speculate that Juan Valdez here has probably been deported 2-3 times already and may disappear before a court day.

"He actually fled the scene. The cops, luckily, were able to catch him." As shared by Gabby's sister. Nothing in media about the drunk driver. Even after fleeing seen, was he just ticketed as most reports say?

This was from People (https://people.com/human-interest/disney-intern-22-paralyzed-car-crash/)

A man had too many brews?...

Hit and run has become a tradition in Orlando. Seems that every week there are one or two usually involving a fatality. Drivers, pedestrians, motorcyclists— nobody is safe.

The driver of the other vehicle was ticketed for careless driving with serious bodily injury

So they weren't charged with DUI?

damn, damn, damn,

And he will not lose his driver’s license for the rst of his life.

I didn’t have any luck finding any info on the perp, either.

Now I’m really curious....

Title says "drunken driver" but the article never mentions this. It only saysL

"The driver of the other vehicle was ticketed for careless driving with serious bodily injury, according to the police report."

So the person that fled the scene while drunk only gets a ticket?

Paralyzed from the neck down. Damn.

Buy me one of these wheelchairs I can use with a straw and I'll use it to wheel myself into a lake or in front of a train. I can't imagine a worse hell on earth.

Bad guy likely either an illegal alien, likely, or a persecuted minority who’s identity would violate the AP style book rules......

Illegal alien drivers and legalized marijuana use are going to get a lot of American citizens maimed or killed on our taxpayer-funded public roads.

I HATE stopping at red lights and red left turn arrows for this reason. I keep a close eye on the mirror and I’m ready to sprint out of there if somebody is bearing down on me from the rear without braking.

The next thing I hate is stopping under overpasses in California. Getting squashed like a bug underfoot is not my idea of a good way to go.

there was a woman in temecula CA who’s car top half was sheared off by a latino man going 130mph while high on weed.....can’t find a thing about his legal status....I suspect that no one has asked....the poor woman died....

[BookmanTheJanitor]

The driver was ticketed? WTF?

[PAR35]

or a public or well-known person.

That would be my bet.

“Full speed” has zero meaning w/o knowing the make and condition of the vehicle the perp was driving....
