1 Injured in Manteca Hit-and-Run Accident on Yosemite Avenue 

Manteca, California (February 19, 2020) – A 63-year-old man was arrested Tuesday morning in connection with a DUI hit-and-run accident that injured one person in Manteca, authorities said.

The crash occurred on West Yosemite Avenue at around 7:10 a.m. Tuesday, February 18.

The authorities said Santana Martinez was driving his vehicle on West Yosemite Avenue when, for unknown reasons, he slammed into a 2010 Jeep Compass. As a result of the collision, the Jeep overturned.

The Jeep driver was taken to an area hospital for treatment of minor injuries.

Martinez reportedly continued driving before crashing into a handrail at a nearby store. He suffered a head injury in the crash.

Martinez was booked in the San Joaquin County Jail on charges of felony hit and run with injuries, felony DUI with injury, felony DUI with blood alcohol content .08% or higher with injury, driving on a license suspended for DUI, and two outstanding warrants for DUI.

An investigation into the accident is underway.

Managing Partner and CEO Alpine Law Group, Mr. Arin Khodaverdian believes that car accident claims are rarely straightforward regardless of the circumstances involved. “Liable insurance companies will often do everything possible to limit their out-of-pocket expenses by either devaluing or outright denying your claim and it is crucial, therefore, to have an experienced attorney on your side,” He said.

Mr. Khodaverdian encourages victims and their family members to seek legal help as soon as possible in order to preserve their rights to the full extent of the law.

Mr. Khodaverdian has worked for many years as a wrongful death and personal injury attorney. He and his team of attorneys has helped thousands of injury victims and their families recover over $100 million in compensation. “In one case, we recovered a 7-figure settlement within 11 business days of being hired by the family of a victim who was killed by a negligent driver.”

Swift action by an experienced attorney helps preserve evidence, interview witnesses, and begin to pursue those responsible for the incident.
