A recent incident involving BYU Cougars basketball player Kennard Davis Jr. has once again brought to light the serious consequences of suspected drunk driving — not just for those behind the wheel, but for everyone on the road.
On November 13, 2025, in Provo, Utah, Davis was involved in a car crash just before noon. According to responding police, the investigation into the wreck gave them probable cause to arrest him on suspicion of driving under the influence (DUI). Davis was treated for minor injuries, his car was impounded, and he was cited under DUI charges.
Why This Matters — Beyond the Headlines
The case of Kennard Davis Jr. serves as a stark example of how quickly a routine drive can become life-altering — not just for a driver, but for passengers, other motorists, and even entire families.
- Legal & Personal Consequences: A DUI arrest can bring criminal charges, license suspensions, skyrocketing insurance rates, and — in many cases — civil liability if someone is hurt.
- Unpredictable Outcomes: Even “minor” crashes can easily lead to serious injuries, wrongful death, or permanent disability. What starts as a mistake can quickly become a lifelong burden.
- Impact Beyond the Driver: Victims — whether passengers, other drivers, or pedestrians — often have to deal with medical bills, trauma, lost wages, and the emotional toll after the fact.
