The driver was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs (DUI), reckless driving and texting while driving, according to a social media post from the Boulder Police Department.
The man was taken to the Boulder County Jail after being released from a local hospital where he received emergency treatment. “This man has to pay for what he did. The family in the house was not hurt, but it is a trauma and it could have been a massacre, killing them all for being drunk,» said local resident Alejandra Zamora.
A good time to reflect
Police said, “We believe that it is a good time to remind everyone to celebrate responsibly and never drink and drive if they are not able to. It’s not worth running risk of hurting yourself or those around you.”
«It is incredible to think that no one was seriously injured after this spectacular accident,» says the official statement. Omar López also reacted to the incident saying, «I’m afraid that one is walking freely down the street and a person could end one’s future by killing him like this… run over.”
