Lewis, accompanied by passengers Amy Josephine Sumner and Kellie Leigh Dressel, veered off the road 50 feet short of the Archer Road exit, where his car rolled several times. Shinholster said toxicology reports showed that Lewis' blood alcohol content was .13 over the legal limit. Lewis was pronounced dead at the scene. Sumner, who had a blood alcohol content of .03, died at Shands Hospital. Dressel, who was the only person wearing a seatbelt, survived the accident.
Impairment starts with the first drink with judgment being the first to go.
Student Services Dean Thomas Hill said he was not aware of the new developments but would like to look into the situation further. Hill said to the best of his knowledge, he did not think there was alcohol involved at the Heritage Club. Jim Coyne, general manager of the Heritage Club, said this was the first he had heard about the toxicology report and declined to comment about the function. Hill also said the Greek system continually has been upgrading their educational programs on alcohol abuse. The problems we are seeing in the Greek system are just problems that are mirroring the rest of the world.
