Bail has been set at $200,000 for 23-year-old UW student Cary D. Griffin, who is accused of driving his station wagon into a group of people standing on 36th Street early Saturday morning in Fremont.
Griffin made his initial court appearance Monday and prosecutors now have until Wednesday to make a decision whether or not to charge him. Griffin is expected to be charged with vehicular assault.
A police report indicates that Griffin’s blood-alcohol level was .19 - more than double the .08 legal intoxication limit.
Griffin’s lawyer told the court that he stayed at the scene and helped the injured, which included two victims in serious condition.

Any update on the victim who was listed in critical condition?

Did he really “stay at the scene to help”? Or were previous reports that he tried to flee the scene but was detained by witnesses wrong? And another report that his girlfriend/date who was a passenger in the car called 911 to report that he had fled the scene.
Hmmm…

As a witness who saw the girlfriend when she exited the vehicle, I can attest that she was in a state of shock and nothing she was saying was coherent. She also didn’t call 911 to report anything.
