A fatal crash which occurred on I-5 freeway near Disneyland Drive in Anaheim, California resulted in a DUI arrest. The accident happened around 12:45 Monday morning.
A 28 year old man was injured in crash and was taken to a local hospital where he later died of his injuries. The driver was a 28 year old female, who was also taken to the hospital with serious injuries and will be charged with DUI, which will require the representation of a competent DUI attorney.
The California Highway patrol said that a pick-up truck driven by the woman was traveling at a high rate of speed when it clipped another car’s left rear bumper. The truck continued to travel down the road where it skidded off of the lanes down a steep dirt embankment. The truck then struck a bridge and spun around several times in the southbound lanes. Only the occupants of the truck were injured.
The name of the driver hasn’t been released to the public.
In the interest of keeping the public safe, police are trained to catch anyone suspected of intoxicated driving. A DUI is a serious offense that only a qualified DUI lawyer can assist the defendant with and the laws just continue to be stricter with offenders.
Because a large number of people are killed by intoxicated drivers, the courts hand out harsh penalties which include jail time, rehab and suspension of driver’s license. The defendant needs a knowledgeable and practiced DUI attorney to represent them in court.
