San Diego DUI lawyers and San Diego drunk driving defense attorneys remind the public of differences between "drunk" or "DUI" as opposed to "tired" in California!

The California Highway Patrol says the driver of a casino-bound charter bus was falling asleep before the bus crashed last October, killing 10 people.

The CHP has delivered its 930-page report to the Colusa County district attorney, who will decide whether to bring criminal charges against the driver, 52-year-old Quintin Watts.

The CHP mistakenly arrested Watts on suspicion of California DUI - driving under the influence after the bus overturned on a two-lane road. However, toxicology reports released in October showed Watts was not DUI, drunk or on drugs.

Many of the 42 passengers heading to Colusa Casino Resort were Laotian seniors.

State investigators refused to discuss the report Friday. Colusa District Attorney John Poyner said the report indicates that Watts had had little sleep in the previous two days and witnesses reported seeing him nodding off moments before the wreck.

The owner of the bus was among those killed and many of the 42 passengers heading to Colusa Casino Resort were Laotian seniors.

Watts told his family that he had been training to drive a bus, and the day of the crash was his first one behind the wheel.

Officials in Poyner's office did not know when a final decision on charges would be reached.
