In a disturbing story out of Blackstone, Massachusetts, police report that OUI was responsible for a head-on collision.  Blackstone responded to reports of a head-on accident and found William Halfelder suffering from a cut and bleeding from his head.

After a comprehensive investigation, officers determined that Halfelder was impaired.  After reviewing video from cameras near the scene, they later determined that Halfelder had collided head-on with another vehicle and forced the vehicle off the roadway.  Halfelder’s path of destruction continued on as he rear-ended another car at a red light and struck yet another vehicle before coming to rest on Main Street where he was found by police.

Halfelder was given Narcan on site for a suspected drug overdose.  He was later transported to the hospital.  Remarkably, Halfelder was charged by police with his 4th OUI.  The innocent accident victims did sustain injuries in the crashes but fortunately their injuries were not life-threatening.
