[!CDATA[A tragic incident occurred when a drunk driver allegedly crashed into an elderly woman's car, resulting in her death. The driver, Aloysius Kenneth Johnson, had been drinking at a bar in Andover, Minnesota, with his wife before getting behind the wheel of his Ford F-350. Witnesses reported that Johnson was trying to race his wife home when he crashed into a Kia Soul driven by 74-year-old Alice Marie Stack. Stack was pulled from the wreckage but later succumbed to her injuries at the hospital. After the crash, Johnson fled the scene but was soon apprehended by sheriff's deputies. He exhibited signs of intoxication, including a strong smell of alcohol, slurred speech, and difficulty maintaining balance. Johnson admitted to consuming several drinks but claimed to have no memory of the crash. His wife confirmed that they had been at the bar together and that she had tried to convince him to let her drive him home. Johnson, who has a prior DUI conviction, was charged with criminal vehicular homicide while under the influence of alcohol. His bail was set at $400,000 without conditions or $200,000 with conditions. The next court date for Johnson is scheduled for June 23. This tragic incident serves as a reminder of the dangers of driving under the influence and the devastating consequences it can have on innocent lives.]]
