Boulder City Woman Crashes Car, Killing Husband, Charged with DUI
Last week, a Boulder City woman who crashed her car in August, resulting in the death of her husband riding in the passenger seat, was arraigned for involuntary manslaughter, reckless driving and breaking Nevada DUI law. The preliminary hearing is set for January.
The couple was driving home from work when the Dodge truck went off the road and rolled over. The husband wasn’t wearing his seat belt, but the wife was and sustained only minor injuries. She allegedly admitted to police they she had been drinking.
Nevada DUI law makes it a crime to drive while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. If you’re found with a BAC of .08 or more, you may be arrested even if you were driving safely. Typical penalties for breaking Nevada DUI law include fines, DUI School, a victim impact panel and a suspended license.
