Man stands trial for deadly DUI crash in Irvine
During a trial in Irvine, a 45-year-old man is facing charges of second-degree murder, hit-and-run, and driving under the influence for a crash that resulted in the death of a 20-year-old passenger. The accused allegedly ran a red light and crashed into another vehicle, causing the fatality. The defendant's attorney argues that his client was wrongly charged and not the one driving at the time of the accident. The prosecutor contends that the accused was heavily intoxicated at the time of the crash and had a history of DUI offenses. Witnesses are expected to testify about the traffic signal system at the intersection where the collision occurred, shedding light on the events leading up to the tragedy. The defense maintains that another individual was driving at the time of the crash and that the evidence does not conclusively place the defendant behind the wheel.
