Philadelphia Drunk Driving Accident Seriusly Injures Woman
Lewis Leon, 26, seriously injured a woman after he struck her car, which was stopped at a traffic signal at Somerset Street and Park Avenue in North Philadelphia. According to this article in the Philadelphia Daily News, the impact of the Philadelphia car crash pushed the car through the intersection and into a pole and then ejected the female driver from her vehicle.
The woman suffered head trauma, broken bones, and extensive bruising. According to the article, she is in critical condition at an area hospital due to this drunk driving accident in Philadelphia.
Leon allegedly continued driving after the crash and struck two more vehicles before coming to a stop at a pole. He was arrested and charged with driving while under the influence of intoxicants, aggravated assault, recklessly endangering another person, and related offenses.
Leon should be held both criminally and civilly responsible for the accident and the injuries to the victim. She deserves to be rightfully compensated for any pain and suffering and would be well advised to contact a Pennsylvania auto accident attorney who will file a personal injury claim.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, there were 500 fatalities in Pennsylvania in 2007 caused by alcohol-related traffic accidents.
