Drunk Driver Kills Six But Survives

It seems like this happens all the time, the drunk kills innocent people but they survive the crash.
From the L.A. Times:
A suspected drunk driver going in the wrong direction on the 60 Freeway in Diamond Bar was traveling faster than 100 mph when she caused an accident early Sunday that killed six people, witnesses told the California Highway Patrol.
Olivia Carolee Culbreath, 21, of Fontana, has been arrested on suspicion of felony driving under the influence and felony manslaughter, said Rodrigo Jimenez, a CHP spokesman.
Culbreath is in serious but stable condition at Los Angeles County/USC Medical Center with a broken femur and a ruptured bladder, Jimenez said. She was conscious and was questioned by authorities, Jimenez added.
She was heading east on the westbound 60 Freeway about 4:40 a.m. when her red Chevrolet Camaro collided head-on with a red Ford Explorer, authorities said. Another vehicle was also involved in the accident, Jimenez said. At least two people were ejected from their vehicles, he said.
Four people were pronounced dead at the scene, and two people died at UC Irvine Medical Center, authorities said.
Five of the people killed were women and one was a male, authorities say.
The victims included a 24-year-old woman from Chino and a 24-year-old woman from Rialto, said Lt. Fred Corral of the coroner's office. Both were passengers in Culbreath's car. Another victim, a 47-year-old male is believed to have been a passenger in the Ford Explorer.

I do wonder why the other 2 people in the Camaro didn't say anything as they were travelling the wrong way on the highway at such a high speed.
The only consolation is the driver is going to be someone's bitch in prison for the rest of her life.
