San Diego Faces Touger Crackdowns on Drunk Drivers
San Diego law enforcement officers set up a drunk driver (DUI) checkpoint Sunday, February 22, on the Coronado side of the Coronado Bridge--the bridge connecting Coronado and San Diego. The checkpoint resulted in the arrest of 11 suspected drunken drivers and 28 cars were impounded.
According to a Chula Vista police officer, the operation was wrapped up early Sunday but none of the names for the people arrested were available.
San Diego law enforcement officials impounded the 28 vehicles from drivers without valid licenses (and presumably without valid insurance--another reason to make sure you have underinsured and uninsured motorist insurance coverage to protect you and your family if you are involved in a San Diego car accident).
The checkpoint was collaboration between Chula Vista, National City, Coronado, and the San Diego Police Departments and the San Diego County Sheriff's Department.
Drunk drivers pose a dangerous to us all. They are more prone to be involved in car accidents, especially fatal car accidents.
