The 24-year-old who police say drove drunk and caused a fatal car crash Friday night had a blood alcohol content of .163 more than an hour-and-a-half after the collision, according to court documents.
The legal limit is .08.
Shaeden Robinson was taken to a hospital and later charged with vehicular manslaughter and two counts of possession of a controlled substance. The woman, 26-year-old Brook Taylor, died at a local hospital.
“A young woman lost her life last night because a young man chose to drive impaired. In today’s world, with so many ride options, there is no excuse for his decision to get behind the wheel,” Nampa Police Chief Joe Huff said in a press release last weekend.
Nampa police officers responded to the crash near North Middleton Road and Smith Avenue, according to court documents. Robinson, driving a Dodge Ram truck, crashed his front bumper into the passenger side of Taylor’s Subaru Forester while she was driving southbound on Middleton Road, court documents say.
Robinson had driven only a few feet away from a friend’s house when the collision took place, according to the court filings.
