Major Freeway DUI Accidents

Speed is a major factor in drunken driving accidents – many of the most catastrophic DUI accidents in San Diego occur on weekend nights on highways and freeways. Although California freeways are patrolled than other states, there are dozens of accidents that occur every day on San Diego roads. The major freeways and highways throughout San Diego County include:

In 2010, a number of disabled vehicle occupants who – for one reason or another – were standing outside their vehicle on the side of the freeway, or walking on the shoulder of the freeway, have been struck by drunk drivers. In August 2010, three people were struck and killed by a suspected drunk driver on Highway 78 in Vista when the three got out of their vehicle on the side of the freeway when one of the passengers felt ill. Such accidents are tragic and all-too-common reminders of the deadly consequences of drunk driving.
