Visalia, CA – Two Injured in DUI Accident on Houston Avenue

Visalia, CA (January 3, 2018) On the 3rd of January, a DUI accident happened on Houston Avenue shortly after midnight. According to the reports, a 26-year-old named Nicholas Nunez drove a 2011 Chevy Silverado when he struck a 2007 Toyota FJ head-on. When emergency crews arrived at the scene, they found both occupants of the Toyota suffering from injuries and transported them to a nearby hospital for treatment. Nunez was initially hospitalized for minor injuries but is expected to be arrested and taken to Tulare County Adult Pretrial Facility.

We are saddened that two people were injured in this accident. We wish them both a full recovery.

Vehicle Accidents in California

Recent studies show that every 50 minutes someone loses their life in a DUI accident in the United States. Studies also show that most DUI accidents happen overnight, as was the case in this collision. DUI accidents are so frequent because after a certain amount of alcohol consumption, drivers lose their ability to effectively operate a vehicle. Too much alcohol slows down the body’s central nervous system, which results into delayed hand-eye coordination and brain function. Drivers also experience lack of reasoning and lack of self-control, making it easy for serious damage to occur.

After some investigation, the police confirmed that Nunez was under the influence of inhalants and alcohol, which means this accident was a clear act of negligence. Therefore, the two injured victims could file personal injury lawsuits with the help of a personal injury attorney.
