The rental car insurance will cover a chunk of the car he destroyed, but they will still go after him for a good amount. The DUI plus accident usually is auto jail time even with a good lawyer (can be as low as a few days), but it could be 30 days to more if they want to throw the book at him.

With all the 'little' things you listed it adds up to a bunch of big items that a court will find hard to pass over. Also depends on his past record, is this a 1st time incident or has he had past troubles.
oh my............ auto jail times...oh my.......... that really sucks for him...don't even know what to say. I believe his records are pretty clean. Except maybe a few tickets? but this is his 1st DUI.

It depends on state/county, I know some have auto jail time as DUIs are becoming big problems for cities & they are cracking down. Now many times a 1st offense you can get by with a fine and/or community service but all comes down to the judge.

If he's smart it will be his last DUI, because he's not very good at it.

It might be his first DWI but you know what they say about it. You are more likely to drive drunk more than 50 times before you get pulled over. So I guess this was his 51st time.
I know of someone in Texas that is serving life in prison because that person had more than 12 DWI's, yes more than twelve. Finally the judge had enough from this person and sentenced him to life. It might look a bit harsh but he had too many chances to rehab and change his live.
