Bill requires sobriety test after a car accident [View all]

By Matthew Dondiego

The state Senate passed a bill that would make testing for alcohol and other substances a law enforcement requirement following serious motor vehicle accidents.

Supporters of the legislation say it will help better combat reckless driving by those under the influence of alcohol or other illegal substances. As the law stands now, state law permits for substance testing but it is at the discretion of the officer, not a requirement at the scene of an accident resulting in serious injury or death.
