Two Women Hit by Drunk Driver

In California, two women who were waiting at a bus stop were hit by a drunk driver this week Tuesday.  The women suffered serious injuries during the collision.

News sources report that while 40 year old Keri Sanders and 32 year old Demertia Davidson were waiting for the bus, they were struck by a vehicle heading eastbound.  The vehicle was operated by 24 year old Jason Howard.  Police say Howard first hit a trash can, swerved off of the road and ended up crashing into the bus stop.  He was arrested for driving under the influence at 5:00 PM.

Both of the women had to be rushed to the hospital to receive treatment for their major injuries.  Sanders sustained a head injury, but both victims are in stable condition. 

Police say that Howard was charged with DUI causing injury after an accident and if he is convicted, his penalties will largely depend upon the health of both victims.
