The two women were struck on April 8th of last year by motorist William Todd Bradshaw, who fled the scene. Bradshaw, who had three previous drunk-driving convictions, was arrested several days later -- and then convicted and sentenced to four years in prison.

I always wonder about these alcohol related accidents. The state wants the sales tax from the sales of the beverages involved.

So, drunk-driving will continue.

Kind of like tobacco taxes?

But I am alarmed that these women, who were apparently very much aware of the “safety hazard” essentially won their State Lotto via a lawsuit.
(not implying they actively sought injury)
Future taxpayers will pay that particular tab.
