Woman Dies after Falling From Vehicle in Eloy
According to the Center of Disease Control and Prevention, 30 people die every day in motor vehicle crashes due to alcohol-impaired drivers. In 2009, there were 10,839 people who were killed in alcohol-impaired driving crashes, accounting for nearly one-third (32%) of all traffic-related deaths in the United States.
ABC15 reported that a woman from Eloy, Arizona died after falling out of a moving vehicle. The woman was reportedly riding in the passenger seat of the car driven by her husband at the time of the accident. The woman died from a massive head trauma after being transported to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead. The couple had just come from a friend’s house where they drank some alcohol. The incident is still being investigated, and the husband has been arrested and may be charged with impaired driving.
Prior to any drinking in Arizona, be sure to assign a sober driver when going out with a group. If a friend is drinking, then be a friend as well and prevent him or her from driving by taking away their keys. This is the safest thing for them as it will keep them from hurting themselves and others.
If a sober driver is unavailable take a taxi or the bus instead. When hosting a party, be a responsible host and make sure that the guests leave with a sober driver afterwards.
