San Bernardino, CA – Kortni Vinson Involved in Fatal DUI Collision on Highland Avenue
San Bernardino, CA (January 20, 2019) On the morning of January 18th, a fatal DUI collision happened at the intersection of Highland Avenue and North Sierra Way at around 12:15 a.m. According to the reports, two vehicles collided when a 26-year-old woman named Kortni Vinson ran a red light in her Dodge Caliber. Violating the traffic law caused her to crash into a Chrysler 200 that was headed west.
When emergency crews arrived at the scene to help, they found the driver of the Chrysler dead at the scene. Two passengers in the same vehicle were injured and transported to a nearby hospital for injuries.
The police are currently investigating the accident, but so far, they suspect Vinson was under the influence when the accident happened.

DUI Accidents in California
Unfortunately, recent studies show that one person dies every 50 minutes after being involved in a DUI accident. Most DUI accidents occur overnight on the weekends since that’s the time most people are attending bars, clubs, parties, or just hanging out with friends. After excessive alcohol consumption, individuals start to lack self-judgement and partake in hazardous behavior, such as operating a vehicle while having blurred vision and slowed reaction times.
Because this accident happened due to negligent behavior, which consisted of driving under the influence and violating traffic laws, it’s likely that personal injury lawsuits and a wrongful death lawsuit will be filed with the help of a California attorney.
