Driver Suspected of DUI Hits Police Car In Garden Grove

March 30, 2011-According to reports a driver suspected of DIU struck a police car early Wednesday morning. According to Garden Grove Police Sgt. Otto Escalante the accident occurred at approximately 1:40 a.m. at the intersection of Haster Street and East Orangewoord.

At the time of the collision police had another vehicle stopped for suspicion of driving under the influence, when according to Sgt. Escalante officers heard a vehicle hitting parked cars. The vehicle identified as a green 1994 Ford F-150 turned onto Orangewood missing one police car, but striking the back of another police car.

The police car that was struck had the driver from the traffic stop in the back. Police stated the Ford pickup truck did not have its lights on when it turned onto Orangewood.

After hitting the police car the driver of the pickup attempted to flee on foot, but according to officers at the scene the driver fell face first on the road. So the injured officers, if any, will probably need to retain the services of a personal injury lawyer, and the driver will be needing a criminal defense lawyer. If the police were injured, they would also have potential workman's compensation claims.

According to Sgt Escalante the driver was identified as Bernardo Sanchez, who was transported to hospital by the Anaheim Fire Department. The driver was reported to have cuts on his head and cheek and head, along with a broken nose from his fall to the pavement. Sanchez could try and argue he sustained injuries from being beat up by police. You just never know what a defense lawyer could come up with as a defense in mitigation, etc.

Sanchez had struck at least three other vehicles prior to striking the police vehicle and investigators from the Anaheim police department are still investigating the collision with the Garden Grove police vehicle and the three other parked vehicles as a hit and run. This is just another crazy day in the life of a Garden Grove cop.
