Two year-old child critically injured in drunk driving crash; Kansas and Missouri Drunk Drivers Facing More Jail, Steeper Fines

At Kansas City Accident Injury Attorneys, we know that no one on the road is more dangerous than a drunk driver.  A family in High Point, North Carolina is dealing with the devastating consequences today after a tragic hit-and-run accident sent a 2 year-old girl and her grand parents.

 

According to police in High Point, a man driving a Toyota Corolla rear ended another vehicle carrying three passengers.  The driver of the vehicle fled the scene but was later caught by police.  He was drunk.  The motor vehicle collision sent a two year-old child and two other adults to the hospital.  The child was in critical condition following the drunk driving accident.  The elderly couple in the car with the child suffered serious but non-life threatening injuries.
