DUI Pedestrian Accidents in California

Sadly, pedestrians are more prone to getting hit by drivers who are under the influence, especially after hours. When drivers are not sober on the roads, their vision is blurred and their reaction times are slowed, making it easier for them to break laws, speed, and run people over. Because of these poor choices, drivers accidentally take the lives of thousands of pedestrians every year.
