Six vehicle pile-up caused by DUI
December 21, 2011 5:13 am Education NewsA man from D’Iberville is in jail for felony DUI after causing a 6-vehicle pile-up that has left one man hospitalized. This is the time of year when DUI arrests typically spike due to holiday celebrations. Many people believe that seasonal depression can also be an important factor since many people choose to drink when they are depressed.
This accident could have been worse – so far no fatalities have been reported and it is expected that the hospitalized man will recover. DUI’s are usually charged as felonies when there are aggravating factors; in this case it is most likely being charged as a felony because of the hospitalizations.
