A car crash on Third Street and Palm Avenue in the early morning hours over the weekend left three men severely injured, one in critical condition, and hospitalized. A 19-year old man, was speeding on Third Street when he lost control, hit the curb and flipped over – landing on the roof.
Two men were able to climb out of the car, but the third one was trapped inside. The two men called for help; fire department personnel, after removing a door, were able to get the third man out.
The accident is being investigated by the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Major Accident Investigation Team. They believe alcohol is a factor in the accident.

For those of you who were stuck in traffic several months ago on the 10 Freeway in Loma Linda when a Redlands man crashed into a Toyota stopped on the shoulder, killing a woman and wounding another woman while they were changing a tire, here is an update. The wounded woman suffered a compound fracture to her right leg.
San Bernardino Superior Court sentenced the 24-year old man, to nine months in the county jail. The sentence is in accordance to a plea bargain where he agreed to plead guilty to one count of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and one count of driving while under the influence of alcohol causing great bodily injury.
My sympathies go out to the family of the woman that dead.

The Sherriff’s department arrested four individuals in three separate traffic accidents the weekend of March 13, 2010 – all involving alcohol or drugs. One is an active-duty Marine. He was arrested on suspicion of DUI after hitting two parked vehicles early Saturday morning. After taking several field sobriety tests, he was arrested and booked in the Morongo Basin jail – released later that day.
In another incident, a 19-year old girl lost control of her truck and hit a utility pole. The driver and her passenger, an 18-year old girl, were found to be under the influence of alcohol when sheriff deputies arrived. The driver was arrested for DUI while the passenger was arrested for being drunk in public. They, also, were booked in the Morongo Basin jail and released later.
The third accident involved a 21-year old man speeding on the Twentynine Palms Highway when he lost control of his vehicle, causing it to roll several times. His passenger, a 22-year old woman was knocked unconscious during the incident. She was treated at a local hospital for head and neck injuries. The driver, who abandoned his vehicle, was located later on and arrested on suspicion of felony DUI causing injuries to another. He was booked into the West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga and held on $100,000 bail.
It is unfortunate that four people were involved and hurt – all because of alcohol and/or drugs.
