San Diego Woman Faces Two Felony Charges for DUI Hit and Run

 A DUI arrest in San Diego was made due to a near fatal crash involving a motorcyclist that could result in three felonies if the motorcyclist doesn't survive.

Jessica Bloom was driving her white Chevy Blazer in Rancho Bernardo on Sunday around 12:30 in the afternoon when Bloom accelerated in her SUV and rear ended a motorcycle. David Smith, the motorcyclist as well as a Marine, was thrown from his bike on impact. https://askcompetentlawyer.com/civil-litigation/ The young, drunk, San Diego driver left the scene immediately without stopping and did not pull over and get out of her SUV. Luckily, there were witnesses that saw the entire accident.

The motorcyclist was taken to Palomar Medical Center in Escondido where he suffered from major head trauma and injuries to his liver and spleen. Due to the victim’s condition, there is a possibility he will not live due to his head injury. As of now, Bloom could be charged with felony DUI, felony hit and run and possibly manslaughter. The young, drunk driver was quickly arrested due to a witness who followed her when she tried to flee the scene. According to Traffic Det. Dan Wall, “People who watched the accident followed to her apartment and waited for police to arrive and take her into custody…I wish everybody would do it. It helps us out a heck of a lot.”

Wall also adds “Don’t put yourself in jeopardy or peril by driving 100 miles per hour (to follow someone),” he said. “In this case, they kept a reasonable distance and did not put themselves in jeopardy. That’s fine.”
