Marine DUI And Vehicular Manslaughter
|
On Sunday, a 23-year-old Marine, believed to be driving under the influence, killed a 51-year-old woman, Chandrika De Silva, and critically injured her grandson in a car accident. While De Silva's husband exited the Prius to go open a driveway, De Silva exited the car to check up on their grandson. It was then that the marine, driving a Jeep Cherokee, rammed into the rear-end of the Prius. De Silva was killed instantly, and her grandson -- who suffered from lacerations and force trauma to the body -- was flown the Children's Hospital in Los Angeles. The marine was arrested and taken to the Van Nuys jail, suffering only small cuts and scratches.
If you have been accused of causing a death due to negligence or a violation of traffic safety laws, it would be in your best interest to hire a Los Angeles vehicular manslaughter defense lawyer. In some case’s a vehicular manslaughter charge can be upgraded to a murder charge. Does your vehicular manslaughter charge involve alcohol? Contact a Los Angeles DUI lawyer in our office to discuss all of the details of your case and how DUI charges may affect the circumstances of the arrest.
