DUI charges and convictions can have long-lasting consequences. They can affect a person’s ability to drive and work. Most of all, they can affect families and friends. This is especially so when the DUI ends in a tragic death.
A tragic accident in Hesperia, California ended with the death of a 2-year old girl. The driver of the vehicle, her father, was arrested on suspicion of DUI and child endangerment.
