Legal Analysis on the Antelope Valley Vehicle Crash
Because there is little information about the fatal collision, we can only assume based on what we know. Since impairment is often the cause of fatal collisions in the country, investigators may review California Vehicle Code 23152. This code law prohibits driving under the influence of any alcoholic beverages and at a blood alcohol level or 0.08% or more.
If one of the drivers had an addiction to drugs while causing the fatal collision, investigators will likely review California Vehicle Code, 23152 (c) which prohibits drivers that are addicted to drugs to operate a vehicle. However, it is important to note that this law does not involve drivers who are participating in a narcotic treatment program.
When a driver disobeys certain road requirements it can endanger those around them as well as themselves. If that was the case, investigators may review California Vehicle Code 21657 to which it requires drivers to drive in one lane in the same direction if traffic authorities require that.
