A woman was injured after her vehicle got rear-ended by a male driver in Pasadena on Friday afternoon, March 10, 2023.

According to the Pasadena Police Department, the crash occurred at about 1:56 p.m. at the Sierra Madre Boulevard and Altadena Drive intersection.

The woman was reportedly stopped for a red light at the intersection when 58-year-old David S. from Pasadena intentionally rear-ended her vehicle. When she pulled over, the driver repeatedly rammed his vehicle into hers before leaving the scene.

He was arrested shortly later after causing a disturbance at a nearby business. The police identified his vehicle, and the woman identified him as the person who purposefully slammed her car.

Paramedics from Pasadena Fire Department treated the female driver for mild back pain, but she was not taken to a hospital for further care. Her car had relatively minor damage.

Reckless Accident Statistics

Careless drivers in the United States cause hundreds of deaths and thousands of injuries every year. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration describes reckless driving as a “willful disregard” for the safety of other drivers in the roadway.

It’s difficult to calculate how many traffic-related accidents are solely caused by reckless driving every year. Nonetheless, between 2003 and 2007, the AAA discovered that reckless driving was a factor in 56% of all traffic accidents.

According to the data that is collected on an annual basis, excessive speed is one of the leading causes of fatal automobile accidents in the United States.
