Drunk Driver Being Held By Police In Connection With Fatal Crash
January 16, 2012
A 21-year-old woman from Arvada, Colorado, was killed last Saturday after a drunk driver hit her vehicle. According to an article in the Denver Post, the accident happened in Westminster, Colorado, at around 3:30 in the morning at a red light at the intersection of West 118th Avenue and Sheridan Boulevard.
It was there that a 25-year-old male alleged drunk driver T-boned his Porsche Cayenne into the victim’s vehicle as she drove home from work at a local bar. The impact of the crash caused the victim to be ejected from her car. She was later pronounced dead at the scene.
The drunk driver and his passenger fled the scene of the crash on foot, but a K9 Unit was able to track and capture both men.
A background check during booking revealed that the alleged drunk driver has three prior DUI convictions between 2006 and 2011, as well as several other driving and drug convictions.
The driver is being held pending investigation into charges of vehicular homicide, drunken driving, failure to remain at the scene of an accident, driving with license restraint, failure to give aid, and disobeying a red light.
