Normally, you go to a McDonalds drive-thru station
to get that badly-needed meal, whatever the time is. However, some locals or
those who passed by Diamond Bar in California probably got disappointed when
they went to their favorite McDonalds drive-thru station one early morning.
Crashing In
An officer of the Los Angeles Police Department
(LAPD) was arrested by his peers after his car flew off the 60 Freeway. The car
ended in a McDonald’s drive-thru station in Diamond Bar causing damage to the
restaurant. Investigators said that 29-year-old Officer Jonathan Chel of the
LAPD was brought to the UCI Medical Center after sustaining traumatic injuries
because of the car crash. In the
medical facility, it is found that Chel was under the influence of alcohol
which got him arrested.
Drunk Driving is Bad
Time and again, authorities have worked well to
make sure that people knew how dangerous drunk driving is. Every year, the
government through the Department of Transportation and the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in its
anti-drunk driving campaign. Through tri-media and new media advertisements and
information campaigns, these different agencies, as well as concerned groups have
put in a lot of effort to let everybody know how dangerous drunk driving is and
why people should stop doing it. While some adhere to these calls by the
government, others still go driving after drinking, making them learn things
the hard way. That is why more and more campaigns are being formulated to
better reach motorists to get the message across and make people stop putting
their lives and others in danger by drinking and driving.
Law Enforcers Breaking Laws
Law enforcement is one of the biggest problems as
far as drunk driving is concerned. Especially if the ones who should be
enforcing it at the very people who break it. That is why the government is
again reiterating its calls to make people drive safer by taking drunk people
off the road. This way, streets would be a lot safer and accidents like these
won’t happen again.
