Accident Report
Sherman, TX — May 12, 2026, Jalasia Brown and two others were injured in an alleged drunk driver accident at about 6:45 p.m. on East Lamar Street/State Highway 56.
A preliminary accident report indicates that a westbound 2021 GMC Yukon collided with a 2007 Chevrolet Equinox that was heading north on South Grand Avenue.
Chevrolet driver Jalasia Brown, 20, and two women riding with her were seriously injured in the crash, according to the report.
The GMC driver, who was listed as possibly injured, was charged with intoxication assault with a vehicle, the report states.
Authorities have not released any additional information about the Grayson County crash at this time.
How Did This Accident Occur?
It is not clear which vehicle had the right of way at the intersection, but police seem to have concluded the GMC driver was at fault for this crash because he was intoxicated. If blood tests confirm that, investigators should look into where he had been drinking before the accident.
If he was at a bar or restaurant, that alcohol provider could share responsibility under Texas law for the injuries he caused when he got behind the wheel if he was served while obviously intoxicated. No one knows if that is what happened in this instance, but it is worth exploring so the injured women and their families know everyone who may have played a role in this crash.
