Fresno Woman Injured In San Luis Obispo Car Accident
Maria DeJesus Garcia, 37, suffered serious injuries in a San Luis Obispo County car accident that occurred on April 2, 2011, around 11:15 p.m., on Highway 46, approximately 320 miles from San Diego. The responding California Highway Patrol officers reported that, Faustino Barcenas, 49, Of Fullerton was driving under the influence of drugs. Barcenas’s vehicle first hit the side of a Nissan Altima, driven by Pablo Elgarrista, 41, and then crashed head-on into Garcia’s vehicle.
Both Garcia and Barcenas suffered injuries in this car accident. Garcia suffered a broken hip and pelvis, and was airlifted to a Fresno hospital after she was initially treated at Twin Cities Community Hospital for treatment.
From the available information, it is clear that Barcenas’s negligent actions and irresponsible behavior lead to this serious car accident that left Garcia and Barcenas injured. Under California law, it is unlawful for anyone to operate a motor vehicle under the influence of any drug or alcohol per California Vehicle Code Section 23152(a). Garcia’s family members should consult with an experienced San Luis Obispo County personal injury lawyer to learn about her legal rights and to obtain compensation to pay for medical treatment of her injuries, lost income and wages, pain and suffering, and other related damages.
Our personal injury law office sincerely hopes that that the injuries suffered by Garcia do not prove life threatening and heal soon.
