Several weeks later, I received a letter from the state indicating the proceedings were closed and providing a copy of the final sentencing.
DUI resulting in a suspended license for 18 months and a fine {$1000 I think}
Not uncommon in a case like this for the police to require a blood test or similar after a collision, it's possible something (alcohol, or drugs) was found that would not have been immediately obvious to you as an untrained observer.That is what the police decided. He did not seem impaired when I was speaking with him before the drive, and he said he had not had anything to drink when I asked him before letting him drive (a standard question I always asked anyone).

The other possibility is that it was a plea to avoid a more serious charge, sometimes those aren't 100% accurate, but fit the gist of the incident.
