Coroner: Driver in wrong-way crash positive for THC, almost twice legal alcohol limit

39-year-old Frank Magliarditi of Henderson, who authorities say was a driver in a wrong-way crash on Interstate 15 near Charleston Boulevard on Dec. 3, had a blood-alcohol content (BAC) level of 0.143% and was positive for THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) at the time of his death, the Clark County Coroner says. In Nevada, the legal limit for a non-commercial driver is a BAC of .08%, meaning Magliarditi was almost twice the legal limit for alcohol consumption. For marijuana, a driver is considered under the influence in Nevada if their blood contains 2 nanograms of active THC. The coroner's office did not specify how much THC was found in Magliarditi's case. Currently Nevada law does not differentiate penalties for marijuana-impaired driving from alcohol-impaired driving.
