On Tuesday, May 26th, the authorities identified the woman whose life ended in a Bakersfield, California, auto-pedestrian accident, and the services of a drunk driving attorney would be useful. The Kern County Sheriff’s Office disclosed the victim’s name as Luciana Perez, 32, of Lamont,

The initial crash report showed that the accident occurred on Monday night, May 25th. According to the California Highway Patrol, the fatal collision took place around 10:49 p.m. on Highway 184 near E. Wilson Road.

The investigators said that Perez walked into the southbound lane of the highway, and an oncoming 2014 Volkswagen Passat struck her. The woman sustained extensive wounds but lived long enough to make it to Kern Medical Center, where she passed away while receiving treatment.

The unnamed driver of the Volkswagen remained at the accident site, and the CHP determined that the person was under the influence. They took the motorist into custody, but there’s no information on the charges he or she is facing.

The investigation into the accident is ongoing, and anyone with helpful information can contact the CHP Bakersfield Area Office.

Under California law, a driver is considered intoxicated if he or she has a blood alcohol concentration of .08%. In a trial, the court would consider that the offender drove a while under the influence and caused harm to another.

A convicted DUI driver faces time in state prison and would have his or her driving privileges suspended. Those involved in this type of accident should secure the services of a drunk driving attorney for legal advice and representation.
