18. Yep and a classic example of how the laws fail to work.
Most of the cases when there is a horrible tragic accident like this, the driver is someone with multiple convictions, suspensions and, if drunk, waaaay over the artificially low limit of .08.

I don't have any good answers, but clearly what we are doing now is not working. This guy had proven on several occasions that he is fundamentally incapable of competently operating a motor vehicle. And despite having his "privilege" to drive revoked, he was driving anyway.
