DUI hotspots located
San Diego DUI criminal defense attorney news
The number of DUI motorists driving under the influence on Arizona's roads is on the rise, and uncovered Valley DUI drunken driving hotspots.
"It's out of control. There's no doubt about it, DUI impaired driving is out of control," said Officer Mike McGillis of the Phoenix Police DUI Task Force.
5 Investigates accompanied McGillis to the scene of a five-car pileup, believed to be the result of DUI drunken driving. McGillis found beer on the floor of one of the vehicles and learned that three of the DUI drivers had fled the scene.
McGillis said it's common for drivers involved in crashes on Friday and Saturday nights to take off. He said intoxication may be why they flee.
Doryce Norwood understands the severity of the consequences of DUI driving impaired -- she lost her daughter and granddaughter to a DUI drunken driver.
"My daughter was proceeding through a green light at 34 mph when he hit them at 57 mph," Norwood said.
Data on places where police said DUIdrunken drivers are usually found and uncovered so-called "DUI Hot Zones."
The zones include the area of Seventh Avenue to Seventh Street and Indian School to Camelback roads, in Phoenix. Farther north, the intersection of 32nd Street and Greenway Road sees high numbers of DUI arrests on Friday and Saturday nights, as does the intersection of Cave Creek and Bell roads. In the east Valley, the area from Country Club Drive to Dobson Road and Main Street between Country Club Drive and the Tempe border sees frequent numbers of drivers under the influence.
Fatal DUI crashes DUIfound patterns of when, where and how victims are likely to be killed by a DUI drunken driver.
While instances of DUI drunken driving crashes are higher on weekend nights, DUI drunken drivers can strike any day, at anytime.
Norwood's daugther, Wendy, and granddaughter, Haley, 10, were killed on a Wednesday night at 8 p.m.
DUI Police said there are so many DUI drunken drivers on Arizona roads that drivers should stay aware of who's driving near them at all times.
