In this day and age of the drunk driving laws implemented
here in the United States, it is quite intriguing that there are still a number
of drunk driving-related accidents on American roads. The US and the state of
California for one, strictly implements these laws but still, it seems that
some people still don’t know how dangerous driving the influence of either
alcohol or illegal drugs are. Case in point: This latest accident that involved
the mom of famous actor and former WWE superstar, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The Johnson Family’s Account
While not much information was provided by the
agencies concerned, Dwayne sent a photo of the crash site via micro-blogging
page Twitter. The accident allegedly happened in Florida where the former’s mom
was living in. Johnson said that his mom was driving when the defendant
suddenly rammed her vehicle in front of Mrs. Johnson’s SUV. This has caused
great damages not just in Mrs. Johnson’s vehicle, but also of the suspect. The
accident has caused minor injuries to the victims and the intoxicated woman
driver as well. All of them were said to be brought in hospitals where they
were treated for their injuries and are currently recovering.
Making the Right Choice
According to Dwayne, his first reaction was to look
for the driver of the other vehicle. However, he later realized that it is
better to look at the situation positively than dwell on the negatives that
such mishap brought. If anything he says, his family is okay and that they have
lived for another day. Dwayne instead took to Twitter once more to reiterate
the importance of making the right decision, that is to avoid drinking and
driving or at least, letting someone drive for you, if you ever get to drink a
little too much. This is not just for your own safety but of others on the road
as well.
Dwayne’s cousin, WWE’s Lina Fenene also updated a
photo on her Instagram account, documenting Dwayne’s visit to her. The members
of the family were said to have even been goofing around in the pictures.
Instead of dwelling on the negatives of the accident, Fenene also highlighted
their luck that they are still very much alive and kicking.
Real Cause of the Accident
As of posting time, further details about the
accident are still to be revealed. However, a Los Angeles car accident attorney
reiterates that drunk driving can really put your, and other lives in danger.
That is why one should make the right decision and avoid drinking and driving.
