- Tennessee toughens penalties for impaired drivers who flee deadly crashes
Tennessee's new law increases prison sentences for impaired drivers convicted of vehicular homicide and fleeing the scene, raising the term from 8-12 years to 12-20 years and requiring full sentence service. The law, supported by Mothers Against Drunk Driving Tennessee, aims to address rising drunk-driving fatalities and holds offenders accountable for fleeing crashes.
