The whole area of Glenview Road and Waukegan Road was shut down because of the fire trucks, ambulance and police cars at the accident scene. My client admitted to having four (4) shots of alcohol within a three hour period. She failed the field sobriety tests and the officer stated that she had blood shot eyes, slurred speech and a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage. My client then submitted to a preliminary breath test on the scene of the accident which resulted in a reading of a .174% My client was arrested and taken back to the Glenview Police Station where she blew into the breathalyzer machine. The result was a .162% I filed and won a motion for sanctions which prohibited the prosecution from introducing the breathalyzer results. I went to trial on the remaining portion of the DUI and won.
