What to do if you Witness a Drunk Driving Accident

*If you are on the road and witness a drunk driving accident, there are responsibilities you should keep in mind:

• Know that your statement is invaluable to the authorities in determining what happened
• If you are the only witness around, alert the authorities of the accident immediately
• Make sure that there are no people trapped in vehicles and, if so, report that to the authorities immediately

A large burden is put on witnesses to drunk driving accidents. Often, they result in both criminal and civil actions. Just remember that someone has been made a victim and it is you that can help them get the justice that they deserve.
