Lorton, VA DUI Death
Posted on Aug 05, 2008
According to published reports, this past weekend Robert L. Thomas, 53, fell victim to a drunk driver as he drove along Route 1 in Lorton, VA. The accident involved a head-on crash when a car driven by Alfredo Martinez Rivera, 31, evidently veered across the multi-lane road to hit the victim's vehicle. Thomas died at the scene and his front-seat passenger was transported to Inova Fairfax to be treated for non-life-threatening injuries. Police suspect that alcohol and speed were factors in the incident and have charged Martinez Rivera with aggravated involuntary manslaughter and a DWI.
This is another tragic consequence of driving while intoxicated. In addition to criminal penalties, Martinez Rivera, if guilty as charged, will likely face a civil lawsuit for compensation and punitive damages to Mr. Thomas' family.
