"District Attorney Jeff Rosen stated, 'More than 10,000 people die in drunk driving incidents every year in this country. Not one of them was what I would ever call an accident. Every single one was an avoidable criminal tragedy, and in this case - a murder.'"
"Officers found the suspect seated in the driver seat of a pickup truck with major front-end damage, while the victim was extricated from her vehicle with major injuries and pronounced dead at the scene."
Brian Burke, 34, has been charged with murder after allegedly driving drunk the wrong way on a Sunnyvale highway, resulting in the death of a 52-year-old woman. The incident occurred when Burke's Ford F-150 collided head-on with the victim's Jeep. He was arraigned on April 13 and is being held without bail, with a court date set for June 2. The District Attorney emphasized the preventable nature of drunk driving fatalities, labeling them as avoidable criminal tragedies.
