No charges have been filed YET. People give them a chance to fully investigate the accident, i’m sure they will file the appropriate charges when they’re done. It takes a little time it’s not automatic.
My only question is why the drunk driver isn’t identified.
Me too. [the no charges part]. The drunk driver is surely being held in the tank. Probably just a poor choice of words.
Struck by a drunk driver and no charges? I seriously doubt that.
