| Posted By admin |

Juliana Grevesmuhl, 18, from Tiburon, was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving early Tuesday May 15, 2012 after striking another vehicle and flipping her car on Highway 101.
Grevesmuhl lost control of her 1993 Lexis ES300, changed lanes and struck the left rear corner of a 2006 Honda Civic in the next lane.
The Civic struck a guardrail and the Lexus rolled over several times before coming to rest upside down.
Grevesmuhl pulled herself out of the vehicle with the help of a witness who had stopped, and she was arrested after CHP officers saw that she had been driving under the influence of alcohol.
The driver of the Civic, a 73-year-old Hercules man, also was taken to Marin General with scrapes to his chest, knee and back and pain in his abdomen.
Grevesmuhl was arrested on suspicion of felony DUI causing bodily harm and other charges.

On Saturday February 11, 2012, a church van was hit by a black BMW around 4 a.m.
There was eleven people in the van and all eleven suffered minor injuries but none were life threatening.
The suspect, whose identity has not been released by police, was arrested and booked for felony DUI.
Usually, a fourth DUI conviction, a DUI with injury or vehicular manslaughter will be charged as a felony in California.

| Accident Involving Two Drivers DUI, Leaves Three Children Injured |
| Posted By Admin |
|
Three children were placed under the care of the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services this morning after a van in which they were passengers in collided with a car in Van Nuys. According to authorities, both drivers were driving under the influence of alcohol.
Sgt. Don Kelly of the Los Angeles Police Department's Valley Traffic, said the children were not properly secured in the van but fortunately none were seriously hurt.
The parents of the children had been drinking and called a friend to drive them home, but the friend had also been drinking, said R. Shaffer of Valley Traffic.
Not only were the children placed in danger with a drunken driver, but they were not properly seated as well. A 4-month-old girl was in a tub used to wash feet instead of a baby car seat. A 2-year-old boy who had not been placed in a child safety seat suffered a red bruise on his cheek, and a 4-year-old girl sitting between her parents on a back seat had lump on her left cheek, Shaffer said.
The Mustang driver, who was also driving under the influence, was taken to a hospital for treatment of more serious injuries, he said.
Both drivers will face DUI charges. The driver of the van will also be booked on three counts of felony child endangerment because "it was his responsibility to make sure the children were in the proper restraints when he was driving," said Kelly.
Investigators were also talking to the Department of Children and Family Services in regards to whether the mother should face charges in connection with the case.

Police have confirmed that Ryan Dunn, 34, died early Monday morning in a car crash. Dunn was one of the stars from the show 'Jackass', and was known for pulling off some crazy stunts to the delight of his fellow thrill-seeking buddies.
The collision occurred at about 3:00 AM Monday morning, when Dunn's 2007 Porsche careened over the road's guardrail and into the wood before bursting into flames. It has not been confirmed if drunk driving was involved, however Dunn tweeted a photo of himself and two friends drinking just hours before the accident.
"Preliminary investigation revealed that speed may have been a contributing factor to the accident," police said in a press release. At this time the report categorizes the incident as an 'Auto Accident' rather than a DUI.
Both bodies suffered severe burns in the wreck and were initially unrecognizable. Police have confirmed that one of the victims was Dunn. The identity of Dunn's passenger will be revealed pending autopsy due out later today.
"Ryan was a wonderful person he really was the sweetest and nicest guy- he was like my extra son, everybody loved him," April Margera said.
