Leading up to the crash, McKay began drinking to deal with personal problems, she said. She was so drunk that a bartender offered to give her a ride after hearing her and a friend discuss going to another bar, Pilon said. The Van De Vorst family was returning to Saskatoon from a visit with friends. At the crash scene, McKay was so drunk and “out of it” that she was heard yelling something about her cell phone, Pilon said. “No one in Saskatchewan should have to drive in fear that just driving home could get you killed,” he said.
