Very sad stuff...
Hammer, you don't get 7-12 for DWI, certainly not if it's a first offence. Usually, there wouldn't be jail time involved, but I hear NJ is extremely tough on drunk drivers, and with attempting to flee the scene thrown in... he could very well do some time.
I feel bad for PDW. To lose your father, then have your car involved in a crash, in the space of a week, that's pretty bad.
As the owner of the vehicle, he's probably open to a civil lawsuit. Just what he needs right now...
