“A blood alcohol test, performed approximately two hours after the accident showed the driver, Bernhard, had a blood alcohol level of .18 percent. Exh. A to Doe. # 20 at 12. Under Ohio law, a person with .10 percent blood alcohol or more is illegally driving while intoxicated. See 0.R.C. § 4511.19(A)(1). This Court can take judicial notice of the fact that a person who has a blood alcohol level of .18, two hours after an incident, has an even higher blood alcohol content at the time of the incident.”
