A 53-year old man was arrested by San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department officers recently on suspicion of driving while under the influence and child endangerment.

 

The man was driving down a street in Yucaipa when he lost control of his vehicle causing him to drive over the curb and 40 feet of chain link fencing.  Once he regained control, he continued on, dragging about 35 feet of support tubing from the fence with him.  The tubing pierced the driver’s 17 year-old son’s shoulder; he was sitting in the front seat.

 

Witnesses called for help when they saw the fencing and tubing hanging from the vehicle.  It took firefighters about 20 minutes to rescue the boy from the vehicle.  He was taken to a nearby hospital by paramedics.

 

If you are arrested for causing damage to another person’s property, contact an experienced San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney who will investigate the case for you.

The San Bernardino Sheriff’s Department reported that a 21-year old U. S. Marine was killed in a motorcycle accident the other day.

 

The report said he lost control of his motorcycle causing it to go off the road and into a cement and boulder wash.  Unfortunately, wearing his helmet did not save his life.  He was taken by air to a nearby medical center with major injuries; he died a few hours later.

 

How sad to be a U. S. Marine serving his country and then dying in a motorcycle accident.

 

The Sheriff’s Department is investigating the fatal accident.  Perhaps something went wrong with the mechanics of the bike.  If the investigation determines that something was faulty, his family should seek the advice of an experienced San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney – they may be able to file a wrongful death lawsuit and at least be compensated for their loss.

According to the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s department, a 19-year old Adelanto woman lost control of her vehicle in the early afternoon last week while driving in Victorville.

 

She and her male passenger were ejected when the vehicle hit a guardrail, causing it to flip into a ditch and land on the roof; she is in critical condition.

 

It is unknown what caused the young woman to lose control of her vehicle.  The Sheriff’s department is investigating.  I would suggest the passenger contact an experienced San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney to see if he can be compensated for his injuries and expenses.

Those enjoying the lovely climate in Lake Havasu recently got more than they bargained for.  A 29-year old Huntington Beach man, was enjoying the water by sitting in an inner tube and being pulled by a boat.  Something caused him to fall out of the tube. While waiting for the boat to return and pick him up, another boat, traveling about 40 mph hit him.

 

The boat fled down the lake without stopping.  The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department is asking any witnesses to this incident to come forward by calling the Colorado River Sheriff’s Station at 760-326-9200.  The boat is described as red, about 30 feet long with white stripes.  The driver is a heavy-set man with a mustache, wearing a baseball cap.  A blond-haired woman was a passenger.

 

Paramedics took the man to Havasu Landing Marina, where he was pronounced dead.  My sympathies go out to the family of the man that died.
