1Opinion of the Court

Ruffin, Judge.

A Tift County grand jury indicted John Becker for driving under the influence of drugs and vehicular homicide. The trial court granted Becker’s motion to suppress the results of chemical tests performed on his blood and urine, finding (1) that the tests were not given in a timely manner and (2) that the implied consent notices read to Becker were inadequate. The State appeals. We hold that there was insufficient evidence to support the trial court’s first basis for suppressing the test results, and we reject the second basis. Accordingly, we reverse and remand.
