FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO): An Angola man faces an intoxicated driving charge in connection with a Fort Wayne motorcycle crash that left a woman fighting for her life. According to court documents, a chemical test administered after the wreck that happened early Friday morning Coliseum Boulevard North indicated Justin S. Buys’ blood-alcohol level was 0.131%, significantly higher than the legal limit of 0.08%.
According to The Journal Gazette, the woman identified in the crash as Rachel Swain, suffered a head injury as police say she was taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries while Buys suffered minor injuries and stayed at the scene.
