Vehicle Accidents in California
Recent studies show that about 2.1 million licensed drivers are arrested for driving under the influence every year in the United States. Whenever drivers choose to drive impaired, they’re actively participating in negligent behavior because they’re putting themselves and others at risk of being seriously injured or killed. Driving while impaired is dangerous because too much alcohol consumption slows down one’s reaction time and hand-eye coordination. Trying to operate a vehicle under the influence is nearly impossible, especially when one’s vision becomes blurred.
Although the accident is still under investigation, the police have confirmed that one of the drivers was driving under the influence, which is why they were driving in the wrong direction. Because this was a clear act of negligence, personal injury lawsuits will likely be filed.
