DUI DRIVER ARRESTED AFTER CRASH ON HIGHWAY 101 IN SONOMA COUNTY
The new year has brought about an influx of drunk driving accidents, many of them resulting in serious injury or death. In DUI accidents in which the drunk driver was acting recklessly, the victim, or their family, could potentially recover from the drunk driver for damages that the accident caused. In such cases, the court may look at whether the driver acted recklessly or negligently by drinking an illegal amount and getting behind the wheel of a car. Drunk drivers are also subject to fines and imprisonment from local law enforcement.
On Thursday, January 22, 2009, Francisco Molina Quevedo crashed into another car on Highway 101. Mr. Quevedo was arrested for DUI and for driving without a license. Witnesses have reported that Mr. Quevedo was trying to pass another car by driving onto the right shoulder at about 90 to 100 miles per hour. After he lost control of the car, he ran into a Jaguar driver Ramone Martinez and passenger Maria Bernal. Ms. Bernal was taken to the hospital with head and hip injuries, but Mr. Martinez and Mr. Quevedo were not injured.
