Result in/from

Hello. I tried to use result from/in to make sentences that mean the same. Could you take a look at the sentences and then tell me whether they are correct?

The car-crash resulted from a drunk driver.
A drunk driver resulted in a car-crash.

For some reason they don't sound natural to me.

Anonymous For some reason they don't sound natural to me. Not to me either. [A mistake made by / The actions of] a drunk driver resulted in a car crash.
