Wisconsin cracks down on drunken drivers

Posted on August 6th, 2010 No Comments

The Mishicot Police Department will be cracking down on drunken driving and will be filling the streets with additional law enforcement officials from Aug. 20 to Sept. 6.

The campaign, “Drunk Driving. Over the Limit. Under Arrest.” has been designed to limit the number of impaired drivers on the roadways. Police officials are alerting motorists of the new drunken driving laws that will lengthen the jail time of anyone who is arrested for alcohol-related driving offenses.

Police want drivers to know of the campaign so that they will not drink and drive during that time and throughout the rest of the year. Last year alone, there was nearly 45,000 drunken driving arrests in Wisconsin and 238 people were killed in alcohol-related crashed. Police officials want to crack down on the laws to prevent deaths related to alcohol.

Driver who struck child in crosswalk not ticketed

Posted on June 18th, 2010 No Comments

An Appleton driver failed to come to a complete stop at a pedestrian crosswalk Tuesday afternoon and struck a seven-year-old boy who was riding his bicycle. A witness said that the car should have seen the child and had time to stop. The witness also added that the child was already in the middle of the street when he got hit, so it wasn’t a situation in which the child jumped out in front of the driver. Despite the fact that the crosswalk was clearly marked, the pedestrian was not ticketed for the incident.

Authorities said that the choice to issue a traffic violation or not is at the discretion of each individual traffic officer. Police said that a report indicating why the person who struck the child was not ticketed will be completed by Friday.

If you or someone you know has been injured in a pedestrian accident, contact the Appleton pedestrian accident lawyers of Habush, Habush & Rottier, S.C. by calling 800-242-2874.
