DUI ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION
Shelton law enforcement personnel are looking deeper into the details of the incident to determine the exact cause of the crash. Liability on behalf of Daetrin Wiley seems to be clear in this incident. He was reportedly drunk and brazenly escaped the scene of the accident.
In cases like this one it is important to have an independent investigation performed and the earlier that procedure begins the better since it will be most likely to preserve evidence important to the case.
