One Injured, One Arrested in Highway 41 DUI Crash
Fresno, CA (December 06, 2021) – On Sunday, an SUV driver sustained injuries in a Highway 41 DUI crash.
The traffic collision took place minutes past 11:30 p.m. near Shields Avenue.
Moreover, the investigating officers said a southbound SUV was struck by a car.
As a result, the SUV rolled onto its side while the car slammed into the center median.
Right away, the paramedics took the SUV driver to the hospital with minor injuries.
On the other hand, the car driver did not incur injuries from the crash and was arrested on suspicion of DUI.
Getting into a vehicular accident can lead to many unwanted consequences. That is why drivers must follow traffic laws at all times. It is best never to drive while impaired and use a rideshare app instead. By doing so, you can help keep yourself and others around you safe.
What To Do if Injured in a Traffic Crash?
Roadways, while scrupulously created and mapped for efficient travel, are one of the most dangerous settings. Therefore, it is crucial that everyone remain calm in order to properly handle the immediate aftermath of an automobile collision.
In fact, on the AAA Foundation Web site, chief executive officer Peter Kissinger repeatedly labeled the epidemic of motor vehicle-related accidents a “public health crisis.”
Moreover, here are the things that we need to remember in case of an accident:
– Before anything else, seek medical attention if you or someone with you has been hurt.
– Get to a safe place to prevent further damage or injury.
– Collect as much information as possible: insurance and contact information of people involved in the accident and pictures/videos of vehicles involved. Also, do not forget documentation of fault, and whatever else that can be used for evidence.
– File a police report or incident report by calling 911.
