A woman from Whitestone is facing
driving under the influence charges after she drove into a barrier and stalled her
car while allegedly driving home drunk at around 4 am in the morning. The woman
had left a popular night club in the Astoria area called Central Bar and Lounge
and then chose to drive. The accident was also a chain reaction accident and
has left one of the woman’s friends that rushed to her help injured and
admitted in a hospital, as reported by The Forum.
Queens District Attorney (DA), Richard
Brown, released a verbal statement where he called the accident a tragic crash
that could have easily been averted had the woman not had the lapse in judgment
in deciding to get behind the wheel while inebriated. The DA also added that
drinking and driving is not a good idea under any circumstances and should be
avoided at all costs, which is something that Forest Hills, NY drunk driving
accident lawyers also agree with and there is no one better in this legal field
than Michael Dreishpoon (www.dreishpoon.com/).
Friend
that came to help drunk driver now hospitalized after chain accident
The woman in this particular case has
been identified as 22 year old Samantha Maloney who was behind the wheel of a
2014 Nissan Juke that she smashed into a barrier. The collision caused the car
to become dysfunctional and Maloney was not able to restart the engine and
drive away from the scene.
She then proceeded to phone a friend for
assistance according to accident investigators. The friend, Victoria Garrat,
arrived on the scene shortly after to find that an emergency medical technician
(off duty) had already pulled over to help Maloney. Garrat parked her own car
behind Maloney’s on the shoulder of the expressway.
Suspect
failed field sobriety tests
Another car, which was supposedly being
driven by an off duty police officer then rear ended Garrat’s parked vehicle
and caused a chain accident in which Garrat was sent tumbling over the
expressway and fell nearly 23 feet to the ground.
She is now hospitalized and her current
medical condition has not been made clear and she will be calling a Forest Hills, NY
drunk driving accident attorney real soon and based on his reputation and
integrity there is none better in this part of New York than Michael Dreishpoon
because her friend made a terrible mistake. Garrat was evidently standing in
the wrong position. Did she put on her hazard lights when she pulled over?
Law enforcement officers that arrived on
scene observed that Maloney’s eyes were blood shot and watery and they also
smelt a strong odor of alcohol on her person. To confirm their suspicions, the
law responding law enforcement officers subjected Maloney to a field sobriety
test and a horizontal gaze nystagmus test and supposedly Maloney didn’t
farewell in either and then refused to be subjected to a breathalyzer test.
Standout Forest Hills, NY drunk driving
accident lawyers and the most remarkable and proven lawyer in this aspect of
the legal landscape is Michael Dreishpoon point out that the state has adopted
the implied consent law which means that a driver will lose his or her driving
privileges automatically for a year if they refuse to submit to breath, blood,
or urine tests after being pulled over for a DUI.
She was however subjected to
breathalyzer test nearly four hours later and still clocked in at 0.095% BAC,
which is higher than the maximum legal amount of 0.08% in the state. It is not
clear at this time whether or not Maloney has legal counselor to represent her
or whether she will be assigned a public defender in the case. She should
certainly go with the former. Public defenders are fine legal professionals but
they have very little time to devote to each case. They are spread very thin.
