Two-Vehicle Indiana Crash That Injured Three Blamed On Alcohol

March 15, 2012

A two-vehicle accident in Newburgh, Indiana, is responsible for sending three people to the hospital. According to reports from WFIE 14 News, the collision occurred just before 1:00 a.m. Thursday on Sharon Road, near Rose Drive.

Deputies with the Warrick County Sheriff’s Department stated that alcohol may have been a factor in why a 52-year-old man sideswiped the vehicle of a 32-year-old woman. Deputies say the two vehicles were passing one another when the collision happened.

Both the female victim and her teenage child, who was a passenger in her vehicle, were injured and taken to St. Mary’s Medical Center to receive treatment. The allegedly intoxicated driver was also taken to St. Mary’s to be treated for internal injuries stemming from the accident.

Deputies say that charges against the drunken driver are pending the outcome of a full investigation into the crash. He could face charges of reckless driving or vehicular assault, as well as charges for driving under the influence of alcohol.

Statistics from the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration (NHTSA) show that one-third of all fatal accidents in the state of Indiana in 2009 were associated with alcohol.

With St. Patrick’s Day this coming Saturday, the Indiana DUI Accident Attorneys with Woods and Woods Injury Lawyers are asking that we all contribute to keeping the state’s highways safe over the holiday by refraining from getting behind the wheel if you have been drinking.

May 12, 2011

Do you think DUI offenders receive proper punishment in our justice system? When repeat offenders commit Evansville DUIs after previous convictions for the same crime, we have to wonder if our current approach is effective.

The driver who caused the Evansville DUI accident, according to police, was found near the last vehicle involved in the Evansville auto accident. Authorities say he failed field sobriety tests and was taken to jail.

No fatalities in Evansville auto accident

April 28, 2011

Seatbelts can be annoying: sometimes they pull uncomfortably or fit too tightly. However, taking a few seconds to fasten a seatbelt and enduring the discomfort could save lives. Do you always wear your seatbelt, no matter how short the trip?

Seatbelts may have prevented Evansville auto accident deaths in a crash that injured five people on U.S. 41.  The crash occurred when a 21-year-old woman driving with a learner’s permit turned left from a non-turning lane and collided with a pickup truck carrying a man and a woman, according to the Evansville Courier & Press.

Seatbelts and airbags may have saved some of the victims from more serious or even fatal Evansville auto accident injuries.
