The medics took the man to Kaweah Delta Medical Center with moderate injuries, and they also transported Radojevic to the same hospital to treat his wounds. The police determined that the man was driving under the influence and arrested him on suspicion of DUI. The investigation is ongoing, and there’s no additional information.
Under California law, a person is liable to answer for DUI charges if he or she operates a motor vehicle or a motorcycle while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. If the person commits an illegal act or fails to perform a legal action in that state and results in the injury and death of another, he or she would face a criminal charge.
Depending on the circumstances of the case, the person might face a vehicular manslaughter charge, and upon conviction, face years in prison. Additionally, the person would have to pay a fine, have his or her driver’s license revoked administratively, and attend a compulsory alcohol reeducation program. Drivers can avoid the preceding by ensuring that they never drink and drink.
