Report: Chris Berman's wife was intoxicated at time of crash
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) -- A state police report has concluded that the wife of longtime ESPN broadcaster Chris Berman had a blood-alcohol level three times the legal limit when she rear-ended another man's car, killing them both.

The Hartford Courant reports that police determined Katherine Berman was speeding and did not apply her brakes before crashing into a car driven by 87-year-old Edward Bertulis.

State police closed the investigation without filing any charges because both drivers died.

Bertulius was on his way back from visiting his wife's grave at the time of the crash on May 9, 2017, in Woodbury.

The family of Bertulius has filed a lawsuit alleging that a Woodbury restaurant served alcohol to Berman while she was intoxicated before the crash.

I absolutely loathe drunk drivers. Not only are you putting yourself at risk you are completely disregarding the lives of everyone else on the road. I don't even like to drive when I'm even a little bit sleepy but some a$$holes out here will drive home from the bar after 6 tequila shots like it's no big deal.

I'm far from being Berman's biggest fan, but I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. Son was at the Mets game when he got the news that his wife had passed. Nothing in life is promised.

In view of recent developments, I retract my earlier statement of condolences. I hate it for Berman only because now he knows his wife is a murderer.
