A recent accident involving a tour van and a pickup truck near Yellowstone National Park has resulted in the tragic loss of seven lives, including that of the driver responsible. Police confirmed that Isaiah Moreno, a 25-year-old from Humble, Texas, had a blood alcohol level of .20%, significantly exceeding the legal limit of .08%.
