A St. Louis County, Missouri car accident leaves two people injured. The three-vehicle accident happened on August 17, 2011 close to midnight on the eastbound lane of I-64 near Timberlake Manor Parkway. The Missouri car accident happened as Susan Dunakey drove her 2000 Jeep Cherokee the wrong way in the eastbound lane. Dunakey crashed head on with Darnell L. Warner’s 1993 Ford Escort. The impact of the Missouri car accident spun Warner’s vehicle into the path of a 2002 Peterbilt semi-truck. The truck slammed into the passenger side of the Ford Escort and crashed off the highway into a sign.
Darnell Warner, a 23-year-old, was listed in serious condition after being transported to the St. John’s Mercy Medical Center in Creve Coeur, Missouri by the Monarch Ambulance. Chesterfield resident, Susan Dunakey, failed the sobriety test given by St. Louis County, Missouri authorities. According to reports, the Missouri State Highway Patrol arrested the 50-year-old Dunakey, the day following the accident for drunk driving after she was treated and released for minor injuries.
As a Missouri car accident attorney, I know about the hundreds of Missouri drivers that die each year from alcohol-related car accidents. In 2010, Missouri DWI law legislation was strengthened in many ways. The stricter laws do not allow alcohol-related offenses to be removed from a previous offender’s record. Another new law prevents a person with two or more DWI offenses from being heard in municipal court. The new law, under certain circumstances, can take away driving privileges.
Alcohol-related traffic accidents may affect a victim’s claim for compensation. When a Missouri car accident victim is injured in a DWI-related accident, the negligence will be easier to prove.
