Property Destroyed after Fresno DUI Car Accident

 
FRESNO, CA (January 30, 2020) – A DUI car accident destroyed property at two different residences on Avenue 12 on January 29.
 
No one sustained injuries but the crash left debris scattered around the area.

“The officers observed some signs of intoxication, and he was arrested on DUI as well as hit and run,” Rodriguez added.
