      DUI Suspected in 3-Car Accident

    A driver responsible for a three-car collision on the 10 Freeway last week is suspected of driving under the influence.

    The accident occurred around 9:50 a.m. on the 10 Freeway in San Bernardino.  Two California Highway Patrol officers were responding to the scene of an accident after a Cathedral City woman lost control of her vehicle in the rain and spun out.  Luckily there were no injuries.

    The woman and the two officers were waiting in the center divider, out of traffic’s way, for a tow truck to arrive when the police cruiser was rear-ended by 45-year-old Gordon Wilson. Wilson’s car hit the officers’ cruiser, which then hit the woman’s car.

    The woman suffered no injuries, the officers reported only minor injuries, but Wilson suffered major injuries.

    Wilson was taken to the hospital and later arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence.  Police are still investigating the accident.

    Recovering Damages in a Drunk Driving Accident

    Because Wilson caused the accident he likely won’t be able to recover damages in a personal injury lawsuit.  In order to win an auto accident lawsuit, a victim must prove another person’s negligent actions caused or contributed to the accident. In this case, drunk driving is one of the most blatant forms of negligence, so the officers and the woman would have grounds to file an injury lawsuit against Wilson to compensate them for their pain and suffering, emotional distress, property damage, and medical bills.
