JAMES ISLAND — The Charleston County Sheriff's Office planned to charge both drivers involved in Sunday night's head-on collision on Folly Road with felony driving under the influence, the agency reported today. The wreck near Grimball Road Extension around 10:30 p.m. left both drivers with non-life-threatening injuries, sheriff's Maj. John Clark wrote in a release. The drivers were trapped in their respective vehicles. The Sheriff's Office identified them as Gary L. Denaux, 35, and Ulysses J. Moore, 71, both of Charleston. It was not immediately known when they were expected to appear for a bail hearing. Denaux had a broken nose, several broken teeth and minor bruises, Clark wrote in the release. Moore was kept for observation due to his age, Clark wrote. MUSC had no information to release on the patients. Reach Noah Haglund at 937-5550 or nhaglund@postandcourier.com |

It's about time for a drunk driver to hit another drunk driver. Thank God, they didn't hit and kill some innocent person.

I agree, tygers. This situation worked out quite nicely, all things considered.

Tammie- You are a nut!!
tygers- couldn't have said it better. You don't drink and drive. Now the younger one will have a differnt smile for awhile to prove his lack of intelligence. Assuming there was ever any doubt he had any.

Very appropriate that they would run into each other...

Well, how ironic. Now that they've been charged with felony DUI, it will go to General Sessions court. It will be interesting to see how Solicitor Scarlet handles this. Stay tuned......

The felony DUI charges will be dropped to simple DUI. The bar for felony DUI is that "great bodily harm" had to occur and it appears this bar was not meet. The arresting officer will have his ass handed to him if this goes to court.
