Last Saturday evening, a single-vehicle collision in Pacifica resulted in a DUI arrest for local resident David Dozier, 58. The Pacifica Police Department reported that officers responded to a call at Fassler Avenue and Ohlone Drive around 7:51 P.M., where they found a Tesla that had struck curbs and a guardrail, leaving it immobilized and obstructing traffic lanes.
Dozier exhibited signs of alcohol intoxication at the scene, prompting the authorities to carry out a series of Field Sobriety Tests (FSTs) based on information posted to the Pacifica Police Department's Facebook page. The tests confirmed that he was under the influence while operating the vehicle, leading to his arrest for DUI (Alcohol) and DUI Alcohol/>0.08 Percent, under sections 23152(A) and 23152(B) of the California Vehicle Code, respectively.
Following the incident, Dozier was taken to a local sobering facility and later released on a criminal citation. Additional details were scant at the scene, but the Pacifica Police Department encourages anyone with pertinent information to come forward and contact them directly or to use the Silent Witness Tip Line. Their effort to maintain road safety is ongoing, as evidenced by their appeal to the public to report suspected impaired drivers to 9-1-1.
The case numbers assigned to the incident are 24-2003 and 24-2004, should references need to be made when providing information to law enforcement.
