Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Intoxication assault is a criminal offense that occurs when a person causes serious bodily injury to another while operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. In this situation, since both men were intoxicated at the time of the accident, it cannot be determined which one was operating the motorcycle. Therefore, it cannot be concluded that either Ray or Bob committed intoxication assault as to the other or themselves. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
