The New Hampshire Liquor Commission has fined a restaurant in Windham, New Hampshire, $2,500 and suspended its liquor license for 10 days in connection with a fatal vehicle crash in April.
Four employees at the Old School Bar & Grill in Windham also were ordered to enroll in and complete training programs in connection with the crash in Merrimack.
The employees were accused of over-serving alcohol to Vincent Forgione, 24, who collided with driver Elizabeth “Lizzy” Croke, 20, on April 15. Both died in the crash.
James Normand, an attorney representing Croke’s estate, said Forgione had a blood-alcohol content of .224, nearly three times the legal limit of .08, The Telegraph of Nashua reported.
Normand said Monday he filed a lawsuit in Rockingham County Superior Court on behalf of Croke’s estate alleging that the restaurant overserved Forgione, which “contributed substantially to Forgione driving impaired and substantially contributed to the death of Elizabeth Croke.”
An email seeking comment was sent to the restaurant.
