Pulling over to
the side of the freeway, and getting out to change a flat tire shouldn't
have to be as dangerous as it often is. A car accident on the 91
freeway in
MaxiDAS DS708 California on Sunday proved that the danger is not from the
fact that you're out on the freeway, but from the reckless and drunk
drivers on it.
28-year-old
Raul Hinojosa and his friend Matthew Lawetzki had pulled over on the
side of the westbound lane, and were engaged in changing a flat tire
on their Nissan Sentra. According to the Orange County Register, a Ford
Ranger driven by Allyn Barry Casey approached the Diagnostics OBD2 Nissan in the right
lane, and swerved his car onto the right shoulder, hitting the disabled
car. Lawetzki was able to see what was coming and jump over the
guardrail and out of harm's way. Hinojosa took the full impact of the car accident and was killed instantly. He was the one changing the tire at the time of the car crash.
Lawetzki was taken to the hospital for treatment for his injuries,
while the driver of the Ford was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving.
Hinojosa
was just
Diagnostics OBD2 28-years-old, and this must be a traumatic time for his
family. He was not in the wrong at all. All he was doing was changing a flat tire
after having pulled over safely (or so he thought) to the side of the
road. You should be able to pull over on a road, and fix your car if
needed, without wondering if a drunk driver will show up and choose that
same moment to barrel his vehicle into yours.
Just yesterday,
we reported that drunk driving accident fatalities nationwide are
showing a downward trend thanks to the minimum drinking age. It's plain
to see that the minimum drinking age will have a limited impact as long
as people like Casey continue to shirk their driving duties. He was
58-years-old. It's extremely frustrating to see older people who simply
should know better, taking part in such destructive nissan consult 3 behavior. You can
blame drunk driving behavior on ignorance and foolishness when the
offender is underage, but when you see drivers like Casey so unmindful
of their responsibilities on the streets, it's enough to make you demand
more severe punishment for offenders.
