Rampant Drunk Driving Tragedies in Wisconsin Claim Four Lives

TL;DR Summary
A Wisconsin man with at least five drunk driving offenses is facing charges for a crash that killed four people. Scott C. Farmer was driving his pickup truck in the wrong lane when he collided head-on with an SUV carrying four siblings, all of whom died. Farmer has been charged with multiple counts, including homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle. The case has brought attention to Wisconsin's drunk driving regulations, as the state treats the first offense as a civil ordinance violation rather than a criminal offense. Critics argue that this leniency contributes to repeat offenders and the need for stricter penalties.
