Unfortunately, some people do not seem to heed the continual warnings in recent years about the dangers of driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. These people will still get behind the wheel of a car no matter what they have been doing immediately prior. Sometimes, auto accidents, whether in California or elsewhere, are caused by such reckless behavior, and sometimes these accidents result in fatalities. Sadly, this was the case when a two-vehicle collision caused four deaths.
Have you linked the pain in your hands to your job?
Does the pain that you experience in your wrist or hand when you attempt tasks like opening a bottle cap puzzle you? Your job might be to blame, and it could get worse. You might have one of several painful conditions that fall under repetitive strain injuries -- abbreviated as RSI. Thousands of California workers in different occupations develop RSI over time if their jobs have them repeating similar motions day in and day out.
Car accidents due to driver DUI often cause serious injuries
Where there are large crowds of people walking near roadways, there is also the potential for multiple injuries if a vehicle veers off the road for any reason. Although a driver can lose control due to sudden illness or injury or even simply from a moment of distraction, authorities often conclude that drugs or alcohol are to blame in car accidents. Such was the case in California when a driver under the influence of drugs plowed his truck into a large crowd of people.
Car accidents involving pedestrians are often fatal
Many California residents enjoy walking as a mode of transportation, a leisure activity or even as a form of exercise. However, these days, it seems car accidents involving pedestrians are happening all too frequently, and often these accidents do not end well for the pedestrian. Sadly, such was the case when a young woman lost her life as a result of a hit-and-run accident in Redondo Beach.
