Drunken Fox 5 Veteran News Anchor Caused Car Crash

A veteran news anchor from Fox 5 was reportedly busted again for driving under the influence and causing a car accident.

Recent news reports claimed that the well-respected broadcast journalist, Amanda Davis, was arrested for the second time around following a car accident as a result of her drunk driving near Atlanta, Georgia last November 11.

Davis was arrested after driving her Fiat car northbound in the southbound lane and hitting a black Toyota. Apparently, it was a head-on collision.

Responding police officers noticed that as they were talking to both drivers following the incident, they immediately noticed the strong smell of alcohol in Davis’ breath. Therefore, she was asked by the cops if she was drunk and she did admit she was.

Allegedly, although Davis refused to take field sobriety test and the State Administered Chemical Test, she was still busted after the DUI officer found significant evidence to arrest her.

Aside from her DUI charges, Davis will also face reckless driving and failure to maintain lane charges. In addition, she was put in jail after the authorities confiscated her driver’s license.

Meanwhile, a Los Angeles auto accident attorney here remembered that the veteran news anchor was also arrested for the same offense way back in 1991. Incidentally she is not the first news anchor to be involved in such embarrassing alcohol-related situation. Her only difference is that she is well-respected by many and should have taken care of her reputation.

PETA Calls for Memorial Where Hundreds of Fish Died in Car Accident

On behalf of the leading animal rights group, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), a representative wrote a letter of request to the Irvine Public Works Department to put a memorial at the intersection wherein more than a thousand pounds of fish died following a three-car accident last October 11.

In her letter, Dina Kourda requested that a sign be erected at the street corner of Walnut Avenue and Yale Avenue, at a spot far from the road to prevent it from interfering traffic. The effort is to honor the lives of the fish that passed away in the said incident.

According to previous reports, the fish were being hauled to a Ranch 99 market, an Asian supermarket, when the multiple car crash that caused the death of the fishes occurred. Fortunately, none of the people involved in the crash were seriously injured.

Kourda further noted in her letter that although such signs are traditionally reserved for human fatalities, she hopes that the state agency will make an exemption due to the severe sufferings incurred by the fish from the incident. In addition, the memorial will also serve as a reminder to drivers that all animals, despite being not humans, value their lives and feel pain as well.

Moreover, spokeswoman Ashley Byrne also affirmed that PETA had called for memorials for other types of animals such as pigs and cows before. However, this is the first time that the organization did the same effort for fish. Nevertheless, the memorial is appropriate, Byre added.

On the other hand, the spokesman for the city of Irvine, Craig Reem, said that although he was not familiar with the city’s procedure for dealing with such requests, he admitted that it would be unfair if he will say that the city has no plans to grant the request.

Meanwhile, a Los Angeles injury attorney likewise believes that every life in this world should be cared for and treated like human beings. Therefore, being sensitive about others’ feelings and value is very significant. He likewise commented that people should always bear in mind that even plants and animals have feelings, too. Other than that, they also play remarkable roles in the community.

American Rapper Wiz Khalifa Wrecks Classic Chevy Chevelle following Hit-and-run Car Crash

American rapper Wiz Khalifa was reportedly involved in a hit-and-run accident after a complaint of a woman who owns the other car surfaced.

According to reports, the rapper’s beautiful 1969 Chevy Chevelle was wrecked following a hit-and-run car accident that happened as the rapper was leaving from a music video shoot last September 19.

Allegedly, Wiz punched the car’s gas and lost control and then slammed into the Lexus which subsequently hit another car. Consequently, the Lexus sustained severe damage to the front end, while Wiz’s car was totaled.

The woman in the third car claimed that Wiz fled from the scene, but definitely not through his mangled car since it was not roadworthy. Consequently, the woman has already filed a hit-and-run complaint with police.

Meanwhile, photos of Wiz’s wrecked classic car, as well as the damaged Lexus can be seen on TMZ’s official web page.

So far, reports say that Wiz cannot be reached for comments. Also, no further information regarding the hit-and-run complaint was yet released, but investigation is already underway.

Way back in April 2012, the 25-year-old rapper was arrested for weed possession while at a Holiday Inn in Nashville. After 10 days, he was again busted in North Carolina minutes before his concert for the same violation.

Apparently, the young rapper is not seriously taking traffic laws (Read More) and prohibitions. However, a Los Angeles car accident attorney here hopes that his recent road mishap would be enough to prevent Wiz from committing further violations.
