Wrong Way Motorist Arrested for DUI in Orange, California Crash
November 30, 2007
A 19-year-old Glendale California woman who caused a serious accident by driving the wrong way on a freeway has been arrested for DUI.
According to the California Highway Patrol, the woman, who hasn't been identified, was driving the wrong way on the Costa Mesa (55) Freeway around 1:21 am on Friday. California Highway Patrol was notified that a driver was driving the wrong way on the busy stretch. Just minutes after, the woman's car, a Nissan Altima collided with a Toyota pickup with a man and woman, students of University of California, Riverside inside it.
The Altima was severely damaged. The suspect was seriously injured and had to be rushed to hospital. The occupants of the pickup suffered injuries too.
The suspect has been arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.

A person who drives without regard for the rules of the road not only puts his own life in danger but also the lives and safety of other drivers on the road. The California personal injury lawyers at The Reeves Law Group have substantial expertise in handling accident cases arising out of negligence or carelessness of the other party and may be able to help you obtain a settlement.
California Highway Patrol Gears up for Holiday Accidents
November 16, 2007
Every year, the California Highway Patrol declares a four-day enforcement period beginning the Wednesday before Thanksgiving in an effort to stem the tide of holiday related accidents that are expected over the weekend. Last year the enforcement period saw nearly 1670 arrests for drunken driving. Almost a full week ahead of the holidays, and it doesn't look like things are going to be a whole lot different this year. There has already been a spate of drunken driving related accidents, although none of them have resulted in serious injuries. 45-year-old Michael Storey was found hiding behind a bush after he managed to set off a 3 car collision caused, California Highway Patrol officials say, by driving under the influence. Five people suffered injuries in the multi-car collision including a 67-year-old woman and a teenager. A Placerville resident who almost caused an accident north of Plymouth by veering his car into the wrong lane was arrested for drunk driving. More DUI related accidents were reported from the San Andreas area where a 19-year-old driver from Valley Springs was arrested for DUI after he managed to slam his car into a bunch of trees. Both the driver and the passenger were taken to hospital with minor injuries. And the maximum enforcement period hasn't even begun officially yet! The California Highway Patrol has also cautioned holiday travelers about possibly nasty weather conditions that might increase the likelihood of accidents. The maximum enforcement period will begin on November 21st and run through November 26th. Drunken driving is one of the biggest causes of road accidents in the country. If you've been injured in an accident where the other person was driving under the influence, you need expert legal guidance to claim compensation.
