I really can't answer the drug questions, but I've got something about the 911 call. In 2008, I ended up coming down with appendicitis while I was out of town at a concert, not that I realized what was happening. I thought it was a really bad case of food poisoning. Anyway, on the way home, I finally reached the point where I couldn't go any further and had my friend call 911. I don't know exactly what he said to the operator, but the police arrived before the ambulance (I was in a bathroom stall at a highway rest stop). Mind you, this was in Wisconsin, and I dealt with the state patrol, which might be who your characters would deal with on the interstate as well.

As for the law/court situation, it might be possible for the driver's father to avoid having the original arrest taken into consideration at all in regards to the current charges. Considering the first arrest happened when the driver was 16 and he's currently 18, it's possible the previous court records would be sealed as he was a minor. But I'm not sure if that would apply to drug charges, or if there's anything specific about such things in PA.

I know this wasn't very specific, especially in direct relation to your questions, but I hope this was at all helpful.
