San Diego DUI Auto Accident Ends With Car Crashing Into Clairemont House

By Ross Jurewitz

An 18-year old boy was arrested for crashing his car into a house in Claremont on February 22, 2010. This San Diego car crash incident took place at around 2:30 a.m. at a house in the 4800 block of Dubois Street.

Though the house was occupied, nobody was injured because of the auto accident. The teenage driver, whose name was not immediately released, was arrested on suspicion of driving under influence(DUI) said San Diego Police Officer Jane Jacobsen.

Driving during the early hours of the morning, particularly under the influence of alcohol, is very dangerous. This accident was further compounded by an inexperienced teenage driver who is most likely not as capable as a more experienced driver even under the best of circumstances. In this case, the driver is lucky that no one was hurt. But just think what would have happened if as a result of the teen driver?s recklessness someone would have died or been severely injured? We urge all parents to make sure that their children understand the gravity of the issue and stress that driving under the influence of alcohol is a recipe that can lead to serious injury or death.
