A drunk driver has been arrested and two kids in his car are injured as the result of a weekend crash in Penn Valley. Highway Patrol Officer Greg Tassone says shortly before noon Saturday, 48 year-old Robert Sponder was driving through a winding portion of Rough and Ready Highway, when he initially drifted off the side of the road…
The car came to rest after hitting some trees. Tassone says a nine year-old girl and six year-old boy suffered what appear to be minor injuries…
Child Protective Services were also called in…
Sponder was not injured. He’s been charged with felony D-U-I and child endangerment.

Another sad situation where innocent kids are involved. It brings back another situation about 5 or so years ago on Brewer and Highway 49. At that time an innocent child was badly injured and an innocent on coming driver was killed. I hope the time will come when people will think before they act.
