DUI Awarded to Drunk Driver after Crashing Into Overland Park, KS. Home

A Kansas City man was arrested and since charged with Driving Under the Influence of alcohol after he crashing into an Overland Park home over the weekend. The dangerous drunk driving accident happened near 123rd and Grant very early Saturday morning.  Thankfully no one inside the home was injured in the auto accident, however the family was home at the time of the accident and endedup being forced to evacuate the house because the crash severed a gas line.

Obviously, this serves as a great example of why drunk driving accidents are as unpredictable as they are dangerous.  You would hope that being at home would be the safest place to be from a drunk driver but sadly this crash shows that drunk driving accients don't just happen on Kansas and Missouri highways.  They can happen right in your own neighborhood.

As Kansas City Drunk Driving Injury Attorneys, we hope if you're planning on going out for a drink and plan on driving, remember this-- the penalties against drunk drivers in the state of Kansas is about to get a lot tougher.  A new law is expected to pass that would require ALL drivers charged with DUI, beginning with a first offense-- to get an interlock device on their car.  Hopefully that alone is enough to get you to think twice before you drink an drive.

As experienced Kansas City Drunk Driving Injury Lawyers, we unfortunately see these types of accidents quite often. Motorists aren't the only ones in danger of a drunk driver because there are no rules stating where a drunk driver is likely to lose control. This is a major reason why drunk driving is such a dangerous problem in Kansas and Missouri.
