Summary: Driver suspected of drunk driving following California crash

There are many different ways to legally use California roadways. Unfortunately, some of these ways carry more risks than others. For example, motorcyclists have little protection if they get into an accident, putting them at greater risk of harm if they are involved in a collision. Unfortunately, a motorcyclist recently died in an alleged drunk driving crash.

The incident that led to the man's death happened just before 7 p.m. on a day in late October. According to reports, a 26-year-old driver of a sedan was stopped at a red light in the turn lane. However, police say that the driver drove through the light, making a left turn at the intersection.
