East Los Angeles, CA – One Dies in DUI Accident on Pomona Freeway
East Los Angeles, CA (December 20, 2018) On the 20th of December, a DUI accident occurred on the 60 Pomona Freeway. According to the California Highway Patrol, a driver in a 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse drove at a high speed upon exiting at Indiana Street. The driver sideswiped a 2005 Ford Mustang but proceeded to drive off. The driver then ran through a stop sign, crashed into a parked 2009 Honda Odyssey, crashed into a tree, and then came to a stop.
When the paramedics arrived at the crash site on Fourth Street, they found that the passenger in the Mitsubishi suffered fatal injuries. They transported the driver to a nearby hospital for undisclosed injuries. The police are still investigating the accident, but they concluded that the driver was under the influence at the time of the crash.
Our hearts ache for the family of the deceased victim. We are sorry to hear that a life was lost in this DUI accident.
Vehicle Accidents in California
Recent studies show that a person loses their life every 50 minutes due to an alcohol-related crash in the United States. Driving while impaired falls under negligent behavior, which is the leading cause of most vehicle accidents. When a person chooses to get behind the wheel while they’re under the influence, they’re putting themselves, their passengers, other drivers, and pedestrians at risk. Too much alcohol alters one’s ability to focus as their vision is blurred and their hand-eye coordination slows down.
Because the police confirmed that the driver was under the influence during the time of the accident, the deceased victim’s family could file a wrongful death lawsuit with the help of a California wrongful death attorney.
