Driver Taking Court-Ordered Breathalyzer Test Kills Teen

An 18-year-old Arlington, Texas, woman died Friday after being involved in a crash a week prior with a driver who police say may have been distracted by a court-ordered Breathalyzer test. 

The unnamed driver, 31, told police that he took his eyes off the road for three or four seconds in order to take a breath test via his ignition interlock device at 6:20pm on Nov. 10. 

The Fort-Worth Star Telegram describes it as a "re-test." As he was doing so, Alexis Butler was backing her Toyota Camry out of a driveway; the driver smashed into her passenger side, with NBC Dallas-Fort Worth reporting police found no tire tracks at the scene to suggest the driver applied the brakes before hitting Butler.
