Kain has been charged with 12 counts of aggravated assault, 17 counts of endangerment, and DUI – slightest degree.

"Ten individuals were transported to multiple hospitals by ambulance, while fifteen others received treatment on-site for minor injuries," according to a release from the Apache Junction Police Department.

According to police, they are awaiting results from a blood test to determine the extent of alcohol Kain had consumed before getting behind the wheel.

The Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control is also "conducting an independent investigation" into the accident and the events which led up to it.

"Impaired driving drastically reduces reaction times, decision-making abilities, and motor skills, putting everyone on the road at risk," said the Apache Junction Police Department. "We are fortunate that, despite the severity of this incident, no lives were lost. However, the outcome could have been far worse."

It is unclear when Kains' first court appearance will be scheduled.
