YesWhat if the parents/owners weren’t home or aware of the party. Are they still responsible?
Yes it is. And thinking that way is part of the problem.Bad deal. .08 isn't very much but for an inexperienced 16 yr old it could be. Definitely clouded the judgment on speed.
It has been said females livers do not metabolize alcohol as rapidly as males and it takes less alcohol to get them and keep them at a higher blood alcohol level. I just don't know how true that is. But, I do know this is one nightmare I have not had to experience, losing children, God forbid. But, I was hit by a drunk driver and disabled.depends on how often you've been at .08 - for some, it would be nothing. for others, you'd be completely tanked.
The video said they didn't attend the party, and they are continuing to investigate who provided the alcohol.
A-freaking-menWe had some local teens die in a prom accident after they left a post prom party parents hosted. I don't think they ever had any extensive punishment. That was over 15 years ago so hopefully things have changed. I'm not a fan of a parent being in trouble just because it was their house. Kids do a lot of stupid things when their parents are out of town.

This article has a more in-depth report about the BAC of all the occupants.
Driver was .09 BAC. 16 years old.
90+ mph in a 55.
Sounds like they are investigating where the party was and who was involved in serving minors, etc.
100% avoidable, but still extremely sad.
Amen brotherIt is a horrible situation. I can promise you that I had parties at my house when my parents were out of town. Which pretty much happened every other weekend. We had a house that sat on the top of a 40 foot hill. Only one way up the hill into the property. It got to the point that the cops camped out at the bottom of the driveway because they knew what weekend was my weekend to host. I can't even fathom the pain these parents are feeling. My family and I are just lucky no one left our house and was injured or killed in an accident like this. But as was said above, my parents had no idea there was a keg and a trash can full of punch in our drive way. That was all me and my sister.

I'm 51, when I was 17 I got caught driving drunk about two blocks from the Millard police station, they told me and my buddy to park the car and walk home. My how times have changed, so glad I grew up when I did....
How far did you have to walk ? since I know the Millard area well..
That's the funny part, we were two blocks away from my buddy's house, so we just hopped in his car and kept on rolling. I lived on about 153rd and Drexler so it would have been a 2-2.5 mile walk. Gawd those were the freaking days.

I guess I'm a little lost on the value of this post and the reasoning. Of course maybe the purpose got side tracked and became "I did stupid stuff as a kid and got lucky"... really? Congratulations

It's interesting that the cops knew enough to predict when parties would happen and sit outside your driveway but never thought to approach or alert your parents.It is a horrible situation.

When we hire the garbage man we would be ticked if he didn’t pick up the garbage ..... so we hire cops and don’t want them to give tickets. I am Driver Ed teacher at the end of class days we really ‘preach ‘ drunk driving etc
If I understand the law correctly, if the adult parents leave the are the make sue any liquid is locked up completely no way minors can get a hold of it, basically the parents can’t plead ignorance. If minors do then the parents are at fault. Unless of coarse you come from a very privileged family then all bets are off. Hell at .08 if the wife and I go out for the evening and I drink a couple, I let her drive, just not worth getting a dui

This whole thing is bad. Even without the obviously bad alcohol side of it, how are 15-16 year old kids out driving over 90 mph at 11 pm on a Monday night?

And we've all driven those two lane paved roads like the one that they were on where it seems like the road is straight but it is anything but straight. Those subtle turns are tricky for anyone driving late at night, especially a rookie driver.
they should have a fun race track kids over 16 can get drunk at and speed round the track, have helmets. safety cages, no ditches trees or telephone poles etc.
