Fatal New York DUI Auto Accident
A teenager has been charged with drunk driving after a fatal New York car accident, which killed a 31-year-old man, according to an ABC news report. New York police said a 2008 Lexus four-door gray sedan driven by an 18-year-old man struck a 31-year-old man on Sutter Avenue in Queens, N.Y. The injured pedestrian was taken to an area hospital where he died. The teen was arrested and charged with operating a vehicle after consuming an alcoholic beverage.
Thousands of Americans lose their lives every year in drunk driving car accidents. Thousands more are injured – many disabled for life – because of negligent drivers who make a conscious decision to get behind the wheel while intoxicated. In the State of New York, it is illegal to drive with a blood alcohol content of 0.08 percent or higher. Those who drive drunk and injure people or damage property must be held accountable for their actions.
