This article in today’s paper really grabbed my attention.

At first, Arlington police thought Michelle Hughes was just an uncooperative witness, or maybe a victim as a passenger in the truck that ran a red light and caused a double-fatality accident last week.

She lay in a hospital bed, saying she couldn’t remember the wreck, while officers searched for a man who bystanders said fled the scene.

But after being confronted with forensic evidence, the 32-year-old Arlington woman has acknowledged being the driver of the Chevy 3500 dually pickup that killed Emilia Terry, 43, and her son, Bryan Terry, 21, on Thursday, police said.

Hughes was in custody Monday at John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth on suspicion of two counts of intoxication manslaughter with bail set at $100,000, police said. The Terrys were returning from an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, a relative said.

I’m not trying in any way to make light of what happened, but the irony in being killed by a drunk driver on the way back from an AA meeting is stunning.  Damn!  You couldn’t make up something like this.  People wouldn’t believe it.
