DUI Arrests Were Up This Labor Day Weekend

The California Highway Patrol reported that DUI arrests were up significantly from last Labor Day Weekend. Not only were DUI arrests up, but fatal accidents were up as well, says the CHP. Last year only one fatal accident was reported during the first two days of Labor Day Weekend, but this year there were six reported fatal accidents. In addition DUI arrests were up to 1,008 from 990 last year.

The CHP reported that there had been a downward trend in DUI arrests and fatal traffic collisions over the last few years. Sadly, this year has shown an increase in both DUI arrests and fatal traffic accidents. Additionally there were non-fatal accidents in high numbers this year (please see www.shermanoaksinjurylawfirm.com) .
