2 killed by suspected drunken driver in California

SELMA, Calif. (AP) Authorities say a suspected drunken driver hit and killed two men in a pickup truck during a fiery crash in Central California. The suspect has been arrested twice before on drunken driving charges and was convicted once in 1996. Police arrested a 75-year-old man on suspicion of drunken driving. Investigators say the driver never stopped his F-250 pickup at a flashing stop sign and Reyes and Cantu were hit in their red pickup truck. KFSN reports (http://abc30.tv/227kkzo) 30-year-old Tony Reyes and 36-year-old Greg Cantu, both of nearby Parlier, were killed in the crash Monday.

What do you want to do?

Why every fatality from a crash is not legally a wrongful death

After someone dies in a motor-vehicle accident, grieving family members and friends are often left with many questions. What caused the accident? Could it have been avoided? What do they do now that their loved one is gone?

Sometimes a fatal collision happens through no one's fault. Crashes caused by weather and road conditions, or by wildlife in the roadway, are examples. But when a fatal crash is caused by negligence, then family members should pursue a wrongful death claim, to uphold the victim's rights and begin the financial recovery process.
