Driver, 18, arrested in crash that kills 1 on 710 Freeway
An 18 year old Garden Grove resident was arrested for allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol after he was in a California Car Accident in which his Toyota Camry went over a raised concrete divider on the 710 freeway. A 24 year old male passenger in the car from Anaheim was declared dead at the scene according to an article published on the presstelegram.com website.
Daniel Alejandro Arvizu was traveling southbound on the 710 freeway approaching the San Diego freeway at about 3 a.m., according to a California Highway Patrol report. As he approached the overpass at about 70 mph, Arvizu swerved to the right to enter the transition lane and lost control of his automobile. The car careened over a raised concrete divider, down an embankment, and hit a tree. One of the passengers, a 29 year old Garden Grove woman identified as Arvizu’s sister, suffered major injuries in the accident and was transported to Long Beach Memorial Medical Center in critical condition. Arvizu did not suffer any injuries but was allegedly driving under the influence at the time of the crash and was arrested and booked at the Long Beach Police Station.
Car wrecks are an all too common occurrence on bay area highways. Add to the mix driving under the influence of alcohol and an innocent passenger who clearly has a wrongful death claim, and it becomes clear why all the parties involved in this accident need an experienced California Auto Accident or California Wrongful Death attorney to represent them. While car accidents make up a significant portion of California personal injury and wrongful death claims, they cannot be considered routine. Each accident must be investigated individually to establish case specifics.
