Rodney Fraser, 31, of Haverhill faces his third charge of drunken driving after he struck a parked car on Commonwealth Avenue last Friday evening around 8:00pm in Haverhill with the Ford pickup truck he was driving. Fraser then drove off after hitting the parked Chevrolet Impala and police soon caught up with him, finding Fraser sleeping in his truck that was parked around the corner from the accident site. Fraser was then arrested. The Impala sustained front left quarter panel damage and a shattered head light. The Eagle Tribune reports that David Sayers of Haverhill is the owner of the Impala that was struck by Fraser.
Fraser previously had his license revoked for 8 years last June after he was convicted of drunk driving. He was also charged with drunken driving back in April of 1998. Fraser additionally has prior convictions of driving after his license was suspended. Carrie Remsen, 37, of Haverhill was cited by police for allowing Fraser to operate her pickup truck. Fraser’s arraignment took place yesterday in Haverhill District Court and he is currently being held without bail. Fraser is due back in court at the end of June.
Statistics on Drunken Driving
According to Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), 1 person dies every 50 minutes from fatal injuries in a drunk driving accident in the U.S. It is also estimated that 1 in every 3 people will somehow be involved in an accident over the course of their lifetime where alcohol plays a contributing factor in the crash. Drunk driving crashes comprise 1/3 of all fatal accidents in the U.S. every year.
