Elderly Husband Killed during DUI Collision

A wife mourns the loss of her husband in a car crash he caused while she herself is still recovering in the hospital.

According to the California Highway Patrol, the 71-year-old man and his 70-year-old wife were driving on a highway when he steered their vehicle into a SUV. The head-on collision was great enough to cause fatal injuries to the elderly man, while causing serious injuries to his wife and the driver of the second vehicle.

While the accident is still under investigation, police believe that alcohol may have been to blame for this accident. To make matters worse, the driver of the second vehicle was on his way to complete community service for a prior DUI conviction.

When you are arrested for DUI, you may not know what to do first. One of the best things you can do is to hire a DUI lawyer who can help you contest your charges and avoid conviction.
