A 45-year-old man Michael Mudd would need a car accident lawyer following a report by Adams County Sheriff’s Office early Friday morning, May 15. The Sheriff’s Office reported a DUI crash involving the man that happened in Quincy, Illinois.

Deputies received reports of a person driving erratically on Illinois Highway 57, north of South 12 Street at about 2:44 a.m. The deputies swung into action and located the vehicle. They found the driver drifting in and out of both lanes of traffic. iThe officers tried to stop the vehicle, but the driver refused to pull over. He eventually rear-ended one of the patrol cars. Deputies arrested Mudd, who is also a resident of Quincy, immediately. They charged him for DUI, improper lane usage, no insurance, and failure to reduce speed.

They served him with a notice to appear in court and released him. The crash did not lead to any injuries or major damage to the vehicles involved.

Drivers must respect law enforcement agents and police officers when they are driving. Evasion of law enforcement officers is a crime that is punishable by law, and drivers must avoid doing it. They must cooperate with officers when they are pulled for and answer their questions.

If involved in a road traffic offense that leads to a collision, do not attempt to flee the scene. Wait for the police to arrive and respond to any questions honestly. If charged by the officers, get a car accident lawyer to represent you in court and help with the case.
