Deadly I-5 accident in Sacramento Caused by a Drunk Driver

A Sacramento resident was killed and three other people injured after a drunk driver hit a wall and light pole then walked into traffic as reported by the California Highway Patrol.

The multi-car accident happened just after 4:00 a.m. when Timothy Bolton struck a safety barrier then a light pole on Interstate 5 in Sacramento. Bolton then exited his car and started running down the highway in an attempt to evade arrest. When Bolton ran into on-coming traffic, fleeing the scene, Mohammad Rouf tried to avoid hitting him and the downed light pole then hit several other cars with his truck. Tragically the second crash took the life of Rouf.

The CHP reported that Bolton was believed to be on a controlled substance and was booked into Sacramento county jail. A woman riding in Bolton’s car and two other people were transported to a local hospital.

Both sides of the freeway were affected by the accident which created some road closures. It took Sacramento emergency crews several hours to move the wrecked cars from the roadway.

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. In the end Peter got me back way more money than I ever expected. I would recommend this law firm to everyone. I am very happy with the outcome of my case thanks to the Tiemann Law Firm! Thank you!

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.
