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.
