Southern California DUI Accidents
The issue of driving while impaired still remains a major problem in California. According to the California Office of Traffic Safety, there were 1,059 DUI-related traffic fatalities in 2016. That number was up from 911 in 2015. Of course, there were many more injured as well. The number of alcohol and drug-related fatalities in DUI cases has been steadily climbing.
While one DUI is too many, these numbers illustrate the problem. Driving while impaired is incredibly dangerous and puts everyone at risk, both drivers and pedestrians. There is no reason to drive while impaired given the availability of other options, including ridesharing services.
