Not sure what bearing that has other then it's not an impaired driving charge. Just thought I would clear that up.
My thoughts go out the the family.

It's been awhile since I cracked open a crim law textbook, but I'm pretty sure the legal consequences (i.e. penalties) are the same under either section of the Code... I'm sure someone on here will know for sure.
