Drunk Driver Runs Through Fatal Accident Scene
In the early morning hours of November 9th in Miami, a drunk driver reportedly barreled through the scene of an already-fatal car accident. Police were processing the scene of the fatal accident when 29-year-old Juan Frias drove through the scene at a very high rate of speed, police report. Frias struck and killed a dog, and nearly hit several people at the scene. He was soon detained and arrested for driving under the influence.
According to the CDC, almost 30 people die in the United States every day as a result of an accident involving a driver who is under the influence. People who drive over the legal limit not only put themselves in danger, but also other pedestrians and drivers on the road with them. While there are some preventative measures in place, like the availability of taxis and other driving services, as well as sobriety checkpoints, many people still choose to drive drunk.
