Maybe doing something they should not have been doing....
Kristi Trayan this is what you saw this AM 😑
Well they are both old enough to know better
Seems to be the normal way for that age group to drive, actually even through their 30's...speeding, road rage..running stop signs.. mom's in a rush to get the kids to school, that they run stop signs.. all the normal stuff...
Shame!
Where is that? I've never heard of Sorensen
I don’t understand this town. How are people some reckless especially the young people have they learned to absolutely nothing from this. Sure hope everybody is going to be OK

Stupid is as stupid does.
Just let natural selection cull out the dumb ones.
That's for sure. At tax payer expense no doubt.
If this isn't a result of an health care issue , charge them both with everything that can be found to charge them with and hold THEM ACCOUNTABLE .....NO MORE EXCUSES FOR STUPID BEHAVIOR
This speeding is happening all the time AM or PM I saw a car driven by 18 to 24 years old on Thursday going around 70 miles an hour on Mead going west. They hit the track so hard dust flew up. This is beyond rediculess.
I don't know white people got to be so stupid if you want to drink stay home remember speed kills looks like they wouldn't have put on their brakes they would have probably died maybe this will teach him a lesson or not
Dang! Who is not in the habit of wearing seat belts these days! Even if impaired it should be a habit. Splitting the face open will be punishment enough no need to talk about prison geez!!
Another DUI... take their license for 5 years while they are in prison.
Quit. Driving. Impaired. 💯 preventable. If our courts could start taking this crime seriously & holding offenders accountable, that would be great too!
