Drunk Driver Sent 3 to Atlanta Hospitals After Car Accident | Atlanta DUI Accident Attorney

Athens-Clarke area police have confirmed that Sunday night's car accident on U.S. Highway 78 that sent three people to Atlanta area hospitals was caused by a drunk driver, according to Roger Nielsen of the Athens Banner-Herald online.  According to the article, the drunk driver ran a red light and crashed into a Nissan Sentra on Hwy. 78 while traveling toward Athens in an SUV.  Three people in the Sentra, one of them only 6-years-old, were seriously injured in the crash, and others became involved when the collision damaged a third car.   All three injured passengers were sent via helicopter to Atlanta hospitals:  the driver, Rachel Stockwell, 40, was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital and was in serious condition as of Monday afternoon; 40-year-old Gregory Stockwell was in stable condition at Atlanta Medical Center; and 6-year-old Sara Stockwell was sent to Egleston Children's Hospital but was expected to be released Monday.  The driver who was under the influence of alcohol was also said to have caused other injuries by the car accident.  At Murphy & Associates, we hope for the full and fast recovery of all the injured.
