- A woman in Ohio just received her 7th DUI, as she rammed her truck into the back of a stopped car, and injured three victims. Fortunately, the injuries of the three people in the car were not life threatening, but much worse could have happened.
The worst part is that she still has her license and thus the possibility of more accidents is still there. It’s a mockery of justice when someone so irresponsible is able to keep driving and putting people at risk. This accident signifies the fact that this woman should not be given the right to have a license.
The woman, Stephanie Foy, has already had six convictions on her record, before she was charged with the seventh one. A press release by Newsnet5 stated that Foy has been fined, placed behind bars, and even had her license suspended in the past due to infractions.
But none of that seems to have been enough a punishment for her, as she was driving drunk once again on Friday. If her license had been cancelled before, she wouldn’t have been able to injure three innocent people that were waiting at a stop sign.
The injured three included a six-year-old boy, who hit his head in the car, the driver of the car, who received a concussion along with neck and back injuries, and a third passenger, who’s status had not been released at the time of the accident.
The police reported that Foy stumbled out of her truck after hitting the car. She smelled of alcohol, and then refused a breath test when she was asked to do so by the police.
Although it hasn’t been proved by the courts that she was drunk when driving, but it seems that she will be charged with another DUI. Maybe this time the courts will actually take this seriously, and restrict her use of license. After all, why should others suffer due to a habitual drunk who has been set free on the roads?
