Back in January, a Salem man in a pickup struck and seriously injured a person on foot. The driver fled the scene and was later charged for a hit-and-run, for driving with a suspended license, and for driving under the influence.

| Back in January, 2023 |
Today the paper reports the injured person, Julia Aubrey Wade, died of her injuries, and the driver has been additionally charged with manslaughter.
They report at least seven DUII convictions going back to 2010 as well as prison time for the driver.
There will be more prison time.
But it is a terrible sign of our autoism that we have a system and culture that somehow tolerates so many instances of impaired driving, over and over.
