P. v. Makowski

(a); count 1) and driving under the influence causing injury with a blood alcohol level over .08 percent (id., § 23153, subd. (b); count 2). The jury found true the allegations that he personally inflicted great bodily injury on his victims, causing one to become comatose due to brain injury or suffer permanent paralysis (Pen. Code, § 12022.7, subds. (a) & (b)).
