Date: August 6, 2009
Location: Banner Quaker Hill Road, Nevada City, California
Type: Rollover car accident
Outcome: Teenage girl seriously injured and hospitalized
A 16-year-old girl suffered major head injuries and possibly a traumatic brain injury (TBI) when the Jeep she was a passenger in overturned in Nevada City. According to the California Highway Patrol, she was one of two passengers in a Jeep driven by a 17-year-old male. Alcohol is believed to be involved. Both the driver and the young girl were transported to Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital in Grass Valley, CA. The third passenger, a 17-year-old male, was uninjured.
This is just another example of a senseless auto accident involving driving under the influence of alcohol. We hope that everyone injured in the accident has a full and speedy recovery. However, the driver deserves punishment and a reminder of the responsibility we all have to drive our cars safely and legally.
