Police investigating accident involving deputy

by Administrator 6. August 2010 05:14

The Wisconsin State Patrol is investigating a motor vehicle accident that killed a 16-year-old teenager.

The accident occurred in late July when a 16-year-old was driving and was hit by a police car. The police officer was on his way to a bar fight and was traveling on Highway 35 when he collided with the teen on County OT. The officer had his lights and sirens on when the accident occurred.

The 16-year-old was ejected from the car during the accident and was rushed to the hospital where he was later pronounced dead. The investigation remains under investigation, but officials hope to discover the details as soon as possible.

Car accidents can cause serious accident and happen very unexpectedly, our condolences are with the friends and family of the victim.


Under the Influence is Taking on a New Meaning on the Road

by Administrator 27. July 2010 00:49

The New York Times recently published an article about a new phenomenon. We are all familiar with the dangers of drinking and driving, but they say authorities are concerned about a new type of driving under the influence. Police say they are seeing an increased number of drivers impaired by prescription drugs. While these drugs are legal when prescribed to a person, a lot of these drugs can seriously interfere with your ability to operate a motor vehicle.

Police are having trouble convicting these drivers in the courtroom. Prescription drugs affect everyone differently, so it is hard to come up with a limit like the one used for alcohol. Also, some people require the medication for essential survival. Law enforcement says that, at the end of the day, they are having trouble determining when a precription drug is too much of a danger to other drivers on the road.

The New York Times brings up a Wisconsin accident to demonstrate the dangers of prescription drugs.  "A former physician slammed his S.U.V. into a Honda Accord in April 2008, killing the pregnant driver and her 10-year-old daughter. Prosecutors said the physician, Mark Benson, had high levels of the sleep aid Ambien in his system, as well as Xanax, an anti-anxiety drug, and oxycodone, an opiate painkiller. Mr. Benson was sentenced to 30 years in prison."

This was an easier case for police to prove because this combination of drugs should not be taken together.

Taking precription pills that impair driving and getting behind the wheel, is negligent and can put other drivers in harm's way.

A 29 year-old woman was involved in an accident on February 20 on N. Route 83. She was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and is expect to appear in court this week.

This suspected drunk driving crash is a reminder of the danger of mixing alcohol with driving. Drunk drivers may be injured or may injure occupants of another vehicle. Additionally, a drunk driver may face criminal charges as well as a civil lawsuit for injuries and damages caused by the accident.

In addition to her DUI charge, the 29 year-old woman was ticketed for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident and for operating an uninsured vehicle. Drunk drivers are more likely to have delayed reflexes than sober drivers and may not react in time to avoid a costly accident.
