Last night, a routine patrol took a turn for the worse for one Los Gatos-Monte Sereno Police Department officer. According to a social media post from the Los Gatos-Monte Sereno Police Department, the officer's vehicle was hit by a driver suspected of DUI. The good news is that the officer walked away without serious injury, but the driver wasn't quite as fortunate, ending their night in a jail cell.

The incident is a stark reminder of the dangers posed by impaired driving. "This incident is a sobering reminder that driving under the influence is not a victimless crime," the Los Gatos-Monte Sereno Police Department stated.

In response, LGMSPD is intensifying their efforts to combat DUIs proactively, hoping to prevent potential harm before it happens. They've opted to increase DUI enforcement, focusing on saving lives fully.
