Early Sunday morning, a woman was killed in a car crash in Orange, California when her car swerved across lanes and struck another car coming in the opposite direction. According to Orange Police, the woman identified as Brooke Dwarzen was driving south on Cannon Street. Suddenly for unidentified reasons her car swerved across the painted center divider near Lexington Avenue, and rammed head on into a black Ford Explorer. The impact was severe and Dwarzen died instantaneously.

According to the Orange County Register, the driver of the Ford Explorer was identified as 39-year-old Robert Saucedo of Anaheim, California. He was rushed to Western Medical Center in Santa Ana, California with serious but not life-threatening injuries.

Police are not sure yet if speeding or alcohol played any part in the crash.

Speeding and intoxication are the two major causes of car accidents in this country. When a driver is burning rubber, it may be the most exhilarating feeling in the world, but his reaction time is dramatically reduced. The car is also subjected to increased stress. Because of the laws of physics, when an accident does occur, the extent of the damage is great, causing severe personal injury.

Excessive alcohol consumption can lead to lowered reaction levels and impaired judgment while driving. Drivers who drive under the influence not only put their own safety at risk, they also endanger the lives of everyone else who might be sharing the road with them.
