It was probably more a situation where the person didn't know what to do.
He's really drunk, something terrible happens and he assumes that he is going to be held responsible because he was drunk, even if alcohol wasn't the cause of the accident.
How many people are prepared for that situation?
Lets say you had only a couple drinks and the incident happened to you, you are well beneath the legal limit but you would still catch the vehicular homicide charge because there was alcohol in your body.
I think a lot of people would panic and be utterly confused as to what to do.
