Driver in crash that killed 5 teens had drugs in system, report shows
[W]ILLISTON — The court-ordered toxicology report of a wrong-way driver charged with killing five central Vermont teenagers in a fiery crash a year ago shows high levels of THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, a powerful opiate and prescription drugs in his blood system.
Steven D. Bourgoin, 37, of Williston had elevated levels of fentanyl and benzodiazepine in his system and 10 nanograms of active THC level about eight hours after he crashed into the five teens as they headed home about 11:50 p.m. Oct. 8, 2016, according to the drug report made public Monday.
Any level of THC in a driver in Vermont is against the law. In Colorado, which allows for recreational marijuana, a driver is presumed under the influence with 5 nanograms of THC.
