At 3:50 a.m. on Saturday morning, a drunk driver plowed into another vehicle, killing one and injuring two others. The Sacramento drunk driving accident occurred on SR-99 just north of Stockton Boulevard.

The fatal drunk driving accident was caused by 34-year-old Jian Saeteurn, who was driving a 2004 Infinity under the influence of alcohol. While driving at high speeds, Saeteurn rear ended Rajendra Parsad, 58, who was driving a 2006 Dodge.

As a result of the impact of Saeteurn rear ending the Dodge, Parsad veered across the northbound lanes of traffic, went through the guard rail along the east side of the roadway, and smashed into a concrete pillar supporting the Stockton Boulevard overpass.

The toll of this accident was significant. A passenger in Parsad’s vehicle was killed. In addition, Parsad suffered serious injuries, and another 26-year-old passenger suffered minor injuries. Saeteurn, who crashed into a chain link fence along the road, was fine. He fled the scene but was later located at his residence.

Saeteurn was booked into the Sacramento County Jail for felony DUI, felony hit and run, and vehicular manslaughter charges. If you have additional information about the crash, the South Sacramento CHP urges you to call (916) 999-9000.

Unfortunately, negligent drivers who have had too much to drink still get behind the wheel, and cause serious Sacramento car accidents as a result. These crashes have far-reaching implications for those involved, including serious injuries and loss of life. The innocent parties are then left to pick up the pieces.

From the very start of my case the Tiemann Law Firm was wonderful. Perter came all the way to my home to sit down and talk to me about my options. He made me and my partner feel very comfortable and promised us he would take the very best care of my case. Peter kept me informed every step of the way and was always on top of things. everything was done in a timely manor and I always felt like I was the only case he was working on because he was so fast.

I just saw my lawyer Jelena Tiemann on a t.v ad, which reminded me how much she helped when I was in a desperate situation. I just love her! That is why I feel a need to tell everyone. I had a situation that happened & didn’t know what to do, our where to go. I didn’t even know if she could help me or if any lawyer could. All I wanted was it to go away & was afraid most lawyers wanted to drag it out & possibly go to court. For one she was very professional but was very personable (maybe b.c she’s a lady). She didn’t make me feel embarrassed or self-conscious that I did something wrong or was the cause of the situation. She immediately said we should try our best before going to court. Let me handle some paperwork, if at the last we do go to court we have documents. She gave me all the details, pros and cons but reassured me she deals with these cases all the time. She came through and made it as painless as possible. I now have my life back.
