A summary...

She was driving drunk 25+ mph over the limit on the wrong side of the road. She killed a guy and she went to the hospital. While she was there - she tried to get an IV to dilute her blood alcohol concentration with an IV.

She got 15 years for pleading guilty to vehicular homicide, but will not serve any of the time after her sentence was suspended.

What gets me is how many precautions you have to take to make sure you don't die. Wear a seatbelt, ensure your car is properly maintained, look out for obstacles, account for weather and visibility conditions, pay attention to drivers next to you, ahead of you, and at every intersection. And that's all assuming you're in proper condition to drive, yourself.

And even accounting for all of that, anything can happen.
