Only if you had a measurable blood alcohol level.

Your deferral will be affected if you were involved in further criminal activity. If this second accident was solely caused by you falling asleep, that should not affect it.

Well were you drunk or high when you had the accident? If it was just a accident that is one thing but if you were driving illegally that is another.

You are mistaken. There is no such thing as DUI deferral. You must have been convicted and are on probation.

It may. You will be called before the court to explain the accident. The court may add additional terms to your sentencing.

Question does not make sense. DWIs are not "deferred" or revoked. Licenses are revoked. If you had a limited driving privilege and exceeded it and rolled your car, yes, you can be held responsible.
