DUI Accidents in California

DUI-related crashes remain one of the most preventable yet devastating causes of injury and death on California roads. Each year, thousands of people are injured or killed because someone chose to drive while impaired. The La Mesa crash serves as another reminder of how dangerous and costly impaired driving can be.

Driving under the influence slows reaction times, impairs judgment, and reduces coordination. Even small amounts of alcohol or drugs can significantly increase the risk of a crash. In many cases, DUI accidents result in severe injuries to innocent drivers and passengers, as well as costly property damage.
