DUI Turns into Child Endangerment Felony

The police later arrived at the one-car collision. The driver, a 40-year-old woman from Sebastopol, was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and causing injury to another. According to witnesses, police said a white Audi SUV was traveling eastbound on Highway 12 at a high rate of speed when it collided with a light pole on the southwest corner of South Wright Road. They found the woman and her 2-year-old both injured. They were taken to the hospital and were both expected to survive. During the crash, she was under the influence of prescription medication.

Prescription medication is a drug. Certain prescription medications aren’t safe to drive while on, while others are fine. Look at the side effects of the medications you are taking before driving, especially with people. If you are driving, with a baby, you should always take extra precautions. Thankfully the woman and the baby are ok. If you did not prescription medication shouldn’t be driven with you should take our informative Driver’s Education Class.
