Alleged Grass Valley DUI Causes Trauma

An alleged Grass Valley DUI left two people with injuries on Sunday, May 3, 2020. The accident involved one passenger vehicle and happened on a rural road in Nevada County. The two injured individuals have been identified as teenagers from Grass Valley. The driver, also identified as a Grass Valley teen, was reportedly not injured. An investigation into the crash is ongoing.

Crash Information

According to California Highway Patrol (CHP) Officer Mike Steele, the accident happened at about 7:15 p.m. on Indian Springs Road close to the Majestic View court intersection a short distance west of Grass Valley city limits. The 19-year-old driver was heading east in a Nissan 350 when his vehicle entered a curve in the roadway. While navigating the curve, the Nissan ran off the road and struck a tree.

Responders reaching the crash site discovered that both passengers had suffered visible trauma, and both parties were transported to the Sutter Roseville Medical Center for care. The driver was reportedly placed under arrest without incident on charges of driving under the influence of alcohol and remains in the custody of the Nevada County Jail with a bond of $95,000.

All of these injuries can range in severity and are liable to leave people with symptoms that dramatically affect their lives. Car accident trauma can leave crash survivors unable to participate in activities they care about, which can affect their mental health.
