On Tuesday, an accident in Milpitas underlined the growing concern around drugged driving and the threats it poses to public safety. According to a Facebook post by the Milpitas Police Department, a driver caused the accident while operating their vehicle under the influence of drugs. The injured driver was not critically harmed, but still required medical treatment and hospitalization.
Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is a choice that could have catastrophic consequences. The decision to drive impaired can shatter lives and permanently impact families.
As the Milpitas Police Department urged in their statement, it is never okay to drive while impaired, whether it is due to drugs or alcohol.
