Law enforcement would be required to test for drug use after a fatal vehicle collision under a newly proposed California bill.

Senate Bill 925, introduced by Sen. Patricia Bates (R-Laguna Niguel), seeks to address the increased amount of fatally injured drivers who have tested positive for substances in their system following fatal accidents.
