Dead Woman Driving

Oregon Driver Busted With .469 Blood Alcohol Level

The Oregon State Police have preliminary figures on highway fatalities and DUII arrests… and it includes the arrest of one driver who’s blood alcohol level of .469 was nearly 6 times the legal limit of .08.

The unidentified woman was in a vehicle that slid off the road in the Crooked River Ranch area of central Oregon. After the blood test she was taken to a Redmond hospital and cited for DUII.

According to Wikipedia with a blood alcohol level of > .3 there is the possibility of death. Using the Blood Alcohol Content calculator from the Wisconsin Department of Public Safety we can see that a 150 pound woman drinking 10 drinks in 1 hour would “only” have a blood alcohol level of .29!

She’s lucky she didn’t kill anyone, and lucky that she slid off the road so she was taken to the hospital!
