Early on Tuesday morning, a possible DUI suspect hit and injured two Department of Water and Power employees in Los Feliz. The drunk driving accident occurred near Franklin Avenue and Canyon Drive where the workers suffered minor injuries due to the accident. Both workers were treated and released from the hospital, while the suspected DUI driver was taken into custody. Injuries are an extremely common result of drunk driving accidents. Various injuries that can occur include broken bones, head trauma, internal bleeding and cuts when a person chooses to drink and drive. Sometimes injuries can be serious and change your physical abilities, and in worse cases, death can be a result. If you have suffered an injury or lost a loved one due to a drunk driver's negligence, then you should contact a drunk driving accident attorney for help.

Adriana Ponces, 28, was arrested on suspicion of a Santa Barbara DUI when she was involved in a collision with an SUV on the Highway 154, Paradise Road entrance ramp. The SUV braked but did not escape colliding with the Newbury Park woman's vehicle. The alleged drunk driving crash left the two drivers with minor injuries and two of Ponces' passengers with severe injuries including massive internal injuries and severe fractures. A Santa Barbara DUI with injuries can be tragic not only for those who were injured at no-fault of their own, but also for the alleged drunk driver. Many times the person suspected of drinking and driving is left with a stigma perpetuated by special interest groups. Unfortunately car accidents happen and they often have catastrophic results. But once alcohol is added to the mix, a person will often face severe criminal charges. No matter what the circumstances, if you have been arrested for a Santa Barbara DUI you need to contact a dedicated California Drunk Driving Defense Lawyer immediately who understands the law and will assist you in every aspect of your case.
