Posted on Sep 04, 2009

When people drive drunk, other people get very hurt! Six people were injured in a Ventura California car accident involving a suspected drunk driver. According to a news report in the Ventura County Star, 28-year-old Adriana Ponces was entering Highway 154 from Paradise Road in an unincorporated area of Santa Barbara County the night of August 30, 2009 when she made a left turn ahead of an SUV driven by 42-year-old Elizabeth Nally. The front end of the SUV hit the left side of Ponces' car. Two of Ponces' passengers--22-year-old Leticia Gonzalez and 27-year-old Edgar Vega Gomez--sustained major injuries that required surgery. Nally, Ponces and Ponces' two other passengers, Oscar Gomez, 19, and Yuridia Tzompantzi, 19, suffered minor injures. California Highway Patrol officials said everyone involved in the accident was buckled up. Ponces was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and driving without a valid license.
