If a driver is involved in a collision, even if fault is unclear, and injuries result to a person other than the suspected driver, a charge for driving under the influence causing injury (Vehicle Code section 23153) may be brought either as a felony or as a misdemeanor, depending on the circumstances.

The severity of the injuries, the existence of prior convictions, whether the person has a clean driving record and other factors may affect the charging decision.
