Santa Barbara Alleged Drunk Driver Results in 6 Injured
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.
