This drunk driver had no way to get out of this one.
On Sep. 15 at around 10 p.m., a Snellville, Georgia, cop was trying to pull over a drunk driver when he suddenly struck her car head-on.
In footage released from her dash cam, the vehicle drove straight into her car, sending it rolling backward.
The officer was left with a concussion from the impact, according to the Gwinnett County Police Department.
The drunk driver was identified as 33-year-old Jagpreet Singh.
Singh was reportedly found with alcohol-smelling breath and an open can in his car.
Singh’s Charges
He was arrested on 10 counts, including driving under the influence, attempting to elude a police officer, and driving on the wrong side of the road, among others.
The 33-year-old was also hit with a felony charge of attempting to elude or flee from a law enforcement officer.
While looking into his background, cops discovered that he was driving with a suspended license and had been in trouble for disobeying the rules of his limited driver’s permit.
If he’s convicted of the felony in Georgia, he may face up to 10 years in prison or be ordered to pay up to $10,000 in fines.
He is being held on a $17,400 bond in the Gwinnett County Jail.
Gwinnett County Drivers
Gwinnett County is not exactly a stranger to road collisions.
The county is home to busy highways and congested intersections like Interstate 85 and State Route 316.
According to 2023 data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the county accounted for 4% of all traffic fatalities in Georgia.
Statewide, around 27% of traffic fatalities were related to driving under the influence that year.
Drunk Driving in Georgia
Drunk-driving incidents involve about 26.1 residents out of 100,000 — numbers that state leaders are looking to change.
The state government plans to introduce alcohol interlock devices in vehicles. The device can check a driver’s blood alcohol level, and prevent the car from starting if it’s over the legal limit.
The upcoming devices are part of the state’s 2026-2030 National Road Safety Strategy to make streets safer for Georgians.
“Of the 39,254 fatalities on our roads in 2024, about one-third involved speeding, and one-third involved alcohol impairment,” the strategy reads. “To make the Nation’s roads safer for our families, DOT will rebuild a culture of safety and responsibility where safe driving habits — such as staying alert, buckling up, and avoiding impairment — become the standard for every person behind the wheel.”
