St. Louis ? A state investigation found no evidence that workers at Mike Shannon’s restaurant knew Josh Hancock was drunk when they served the Cardinals pitcher alcohol in the hours prior to his fatal accident.

Peter Lobdell, supervisor of the state Division of Alcohol and Tobacco Control, said at a news conference Thursday that investigators interviewed four employees of the restaurant and two of Hancock’s teammates who were with him that night.

“The investigators determined Hancock was drinking in moderation, socializing with teammates and friends and employees of Shannon’s,” Lobdell said. “He did not appear to be intoxicated to any patrons or employees who came forward to be interviewed.”

Hancock was driving alone when he died in the early hours of April 29 after his sport utility vehicle struck the back of a flatbed tow truck that was stopped in a driving lane of Interstate 64 assisting a stalled car. The tow truck driver and the car’s owner were not hurt.
