HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY - According to a Hillsborough County Sheriff's spokesperson two people were injured in a car accident on New Year's Day when another driver ran a red light crashing into their vehicle.
The occupants of the vehicle that had been hit were transported to the hospital, where they were treated for serious injuries, with one in critical condition. The driver that ran the red light had also been treated at the hospital, where he was released and charged with two counts of DUI with serious bodily injury, two counts of property damage and not having a valid driver's license.
Although, Florida authorities were out in full force over the holiday in an effort to support the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration's "Over the Limit Under Arrest" campaign which worked with local law enforcement to establish sobriety checkpoints and increased other methods of keeping drunk drivers off of the road, there are still those that will slip through the system.
