FRESNO, CA (April 22, 2019) – On Monday morning, a woman was injured in a suspected DUI accident on Palm Avenue near Shields Avenue.

Pacific Gas and Electric Company arrived to the scene and shut down the power in the area. However, the water was shut down an hour later.

The avenue was closed off for a brief time, but has since reopened. No further details have been released regarding the circumstances leading up to the incident at this time.
 
Driving under the influence is never safe practice. If you are thinking of operating a vehicle while impaired, contact an Uber, Lyft or a taxi instead to bring you home. In addition, drinking and driving is against the law. It is never worth it.
