San Marcos, CA Auto Accident Lawyer Discusses High Number of DUI Car Wrecks
San Marcos is a city located in the northern part of San Diego County, California and is popularly known as the home of a local California State University campus. San Marcos has a total area of 23.8 square miles according to the United States Census Bureau. And, as of 2009, the total population has reached up to 83,149 with a median household income of $63,558 based upon the San Diego Association of Governments 2005 Report. Apart from California State University, San Marcos is also known for having some of the best restaurants that you can ever dine in if you’re traveling through North San Diego County. The city is also popular for several recreational venues, including golf courses like those along Lake San Marcos.
There are several notable freeways, highways, and parkways running through San Marcos. State Route 78 (SR-78) passes through San Marcos, running near the Ronald Packard Parkway. Interstate 15 (I-15) also is nearby and is one of the main north-south freeways providing access to North San Diego County. It passes by Mesa Rock and the Country Club along Nordahl Road.
San Marcos has also had its fair share of auto and motorcycle accidents. According to the 2008 Statewide Integrated Transit Report System (SWITRS) 271 motor vehicle injury accidents happened in San Marcos, 4 of which involved fatal injuries. San Marcos also experienced 51 drunk driving injury car accidents, 12 pedestrian vs. auto accidents, 11 bike vs. car accidents, and 16 motorcycle accidents. One of these motorcycle wrecks was fatal.
“San Marcos is a fantastic place to raise a family. But it is also home to a surprisingly high number of drunk driving auto accidents,” said San Marcos car accident lawyer Ross Jurewitz. “Whether it is the number of great restaurants and bars in the area and their close proximity to people’s homes does not matter. The number of DUI accidents needs to be reduced.”
