Local Stand-Up Comedian Killed By Suspected Drunk Driver

Local stand-up comedian Angelo Bowers was killed in a car crash that local law enforcement agents say was caused by a driver who was under the influence of alcohol. Bowers and a friend, fellow comedian Josh Adam Meyers, were hit by an unnamed 21-year-old driver around 1:45 in the morning on Tuesday, January 3rd. According to police reports, the driver had also caused another traffic accident with a taxi near the intersection of Hollywood Boulevard and Argyle Avenue just minutes before and, in fleeing the scene of that accident, ran into the car with Bowers and Meyers. Bowers was reportedly the passenger in Meyers' vehicle. All three people involved in the accident were severely injured and taken to nearby hospitals for medical attention. Bowers died several hours later from his injuries. Meyers and the driver of the car that collided with his vehicle are still reportedly recovering from their injuries. The driver is expected to be arrested and charged with murder once he no longer requires medical treatment.

As an experienced Los Angeles DUI Defense Attorney can tell you, Bowers' death is a sad example of exactly why local law enforcement agents and legislators take drinking and driving so seriously: people can not only be seriously injured by impaired drivers, but can die as a result of someone else's bad decisions.

Your Los Angeles DUI Defense Attorney can tell you that no DUI case is as black or white as law enforcement agents or prosecutors would make it seem. An experienced Los Angeles DUI Defense Attorney knows that alcohol consumption is not the only thing that can make people drive erratically. In many cases, illness or simple fatigue can make people perform poorly on standard field sobriety tests. Breath sprays, mouth washes and even certain diets can alter the chemical composition of a person's mouth and lead to a falsely high blood alcohol content reading on breath analysis tests. Your Los Angeles DUI Defense Attorney knows that blood samples are the most accurate way to test someone's blood alcohol content for alcohol impairment, but even blood samples are only as good as the technicians and laboratories that handle them. Labs and technicians can and do make errors that could make it seem as though you were driving impaired because of alcohol even if you were not. Facing DUI charges can seem daunting, but the right Los Angeles DUI Defense Attorney can provide crucial guidance and defense for you. Call today to find out what your options are.
