A motorist struck two pedestrians near the intersection of Eglinton Avenue and Dufferin Street, sending both individuals to hospital. One of the two victims reportedly suffered life-threatening injuries, and the other suffered serious injuries that were not life-threatening.<\/p>\n<p>Toronto Police closed off the area and arrested the driver at the scene. A reconstruction team arrived to investigate the accident. In the meantime, the arresting officers charged the man with impaired driving.<\/p>\n<p>A charge of impaired driving, even for a first-time offender, can be a concern, and demerit points and fines are possible outcomes for anyone convicted. Unfortunately, if a driver injures another person while allegedly impaired, matters often become more serious. In a situation like that, it may take more than a casual understanding of the law to see the case through to a successful conclusion. The best option for a solid legal defence is probably a Toronto lawyer who has years of experience with criminal law. Choosing the right person for the job may make the difference between time behind bars and returning to a normal life.<\/p>\n<p><b>Source:\u00a0<\/b>Global News &#8211; Toronto, &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/globalnews.ca\/news\/3500200\/impaired-driving-pedestrians-struck-toronto\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1 arrested for impaired driving after 2 pedestrians struck by vehicle &#8211; Toronto<\/a>&#8220;, Jessica Patton, June 3, 2017<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A lapse in judgment can happen to anyone, and likely has happened to nearly everyone at some point.
