1Opinion of the CourtWorswick, C.J.
—The City of Bremerton appeals dismissal of three driving while intoxicated cases (RCW 46.61-.502) and one physical control case (RCW 46.61.504), in which the municipal court held the City's evidence insufficient to satisfy the corpus delicti-corroboration rule as a prerequisite to allowing each defendant's admission into evidence. State v. Hamrick, 19 Wn. App. 417, 576 P.2d 912 (1978). The Superior Court affirmed. We accepted discretionary review, consolidated the cases, and now reverse. We hold that the Hamrick corroboration rule was satisfied in each case.
