Alcohol Causes Automobile Accident Fatalities
You’ve heard that drunk driving kills. But do you know that driving drunk may have profound legal effects, too?
On the last day of 2011, two residents of North Texas were killed and one seriously injured as a result of drunk driving. The inebriated driver, driving too fast, recklessly attempted to pass a slower vehicle. Unfortunately for everyone in the car, he lost control of his car, causing the sedan to slip off the road, go airborne, and roll several times before come to rest. As a result, the driver and two passengers were ejected from the car.
