Residents in one San Diego neighborhood are growing concerned with the safety of motorists, cyclists and pedestrians following a fatal accident in May at the intersection of Camino Del Norte and 4S Ranch Parkway. Driver Danny Wyrick, 59, and a female passenger clipped the back end of an SUV making a left-turn while Wyrick’s vehicle was allegedly traveling at very high speed and ran through a red light.

The suit claims that servers at the bar continued to serve Nestande after she was “visually impaired.” Nestande struck Griffin and continued driving. She told officers she looked down at her phone before the collision and was unaware of what she struck. Nestande was convicted of criminally negligent homicide—a jury determined that prosecution failed to prove she was impaired at the time of the accident. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages. Dram shop law is the legal term for this lawsuit—the law can hold establishments responsible in situations like this one. The bar is legally required to stop serving patrons who are visually impaired and take reasonable steps to ensure they are not driving a vehicle. These cases are obviously very complex and there are almost an…
