Orange County DUI Crash: Driver Charged with Murder

by

Andrew Gallo, 22, was arrested and charged with murder in connection with a orange County DUI hit-and-run car crash, which killed Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart and two others and left one man in critical condition. According to a Fox News report, Fullerton police officials say Gallo was speeding when he ran a red light and struck the Mitsubishi sports car in which Adenhart and the others were in. Gallo is facing murder charges, vehicular manslaughter, felony hit and run, felony DUI and other serious charges.

He was also said to be driving with a suspended license. His driving privilege was suspended following a prior DUI conviction, the news report states. Police also say Gallo’s blood alcohol level was over the legal limit. In California, it is illegal to driver with a blood alcohol level of 0.08 percent or higher.

The charges that this driver is facing are extremely serious. The situation has clearly been worsened because of the number of violations and the seriousness of the violations Gallo has been accused of.
