A Kaiser orthopedic surgeon was involved in a crash that injured five individuals, including the surgeon. He was later arrested on suspicion of drunk driving.

Reports were that he was driving on the wrong side of the road which caused the crash.

In 1990, California was the fourth state to pass a law lowering the blood alcohol content limit to .08%. Since that time, it has been illegal to drive a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.08% or more. Driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs or driving with a blood alcohol content of 0.08% or more and causing an injury can be a felony where one could be sentenced to a state prison.

If you’ve been charged with a DUI, it is a good idea to speak with a San Jose DUI attorney about your incident.
