Teacher Hits Teenagers while Drunk Driving

A local teacher is facing trial for an alleged hit and run while intoxicated. According to police reports, V.S., a teacher at a nearby elementary school, was driving his midsize SUV while drunk and hit a group of teenagers walking and on bikes along the roadside. Instead of stopping to render aid, the man continued driving despite a flat tire and noticeable damage to the front end and hood of his vehicle. A total of five teenagers were hit by the car. One of the group, a girl that had once attended V.S.'s classes, testified at the teacher's preliminary hearing saying she remembers the incident and laying on the road while her friends were screaming out in pain. The girl suffered a concussion and a variety of lacerations and contusions. V.S. pled not guilty to charges involving the alleged hit and run and drunk driving while also stating that he will be going to rehab once he is released.
