Recent California Certainty of stoned driver shows potentially Fatal consequences of driving high
From Jason Kotowski
While alcohol-related DUIs remain a lot more common, last week a situation involving a motorist prosecutors say was solely under the influence of marijuana provided a stark illustration of the risk of driving while stoned.
Prosecutors say John Sebastian Hernandez, 23, smoked marijuana before getting behind the wheel in June of this past year. He veered to the opposite lane on Santa Fe Way and struck a vehicle head-on driven by 40-year-old Gabriela Soto, who was pregnant.
