Call the town police department where this crash happened and find out who has jurisdiction on the case (town or state Police). Ask to speak with their records person.

Do a public records request for whatever information you want that the relevant police department(s) would have in their possession. (State police won’t release much while a case is still pending, but there is a lot of information you can get).

Once you know who has jurisdiction, ask them who the detective and prosecutors on the case are and what court it is in.

If the driver was charged with a DUI, there will 100% be an answer you can get from the DA’s office/court where the case is being handled as to current status. It could be dismissed, it could be something else. But it’s not some black hole.

You will need to make phone calls, or trips to a court, or make written requests, but you can find out all of this info.

If you are still confused, DM me and I can walk you through more specific steps.

I've reached out to the state police a few times - they won't tell me anything over the phone. I actually filed a public records request earlier this year, and the documents which were provided to me didn't have any information that I didn't already know. The district court has no record of the case.

I had not reached out to the DA's office, so I did that today. Left a message. Hopefully they will follow up.
