Beaumont, TX — June 19, 2024, a woman and a girl were injured due to an alleged drunk driver accident at around 9:10 p.m. along Interstate 10.
Authorities said in preliminary statements that the accident happened off the corner of the I-10 and College Street intersection in the area of the Super 8.
Investigators said that there was a 52-year-old woman and a 4-year-old girl standing next to a vehicle. While there, a Dodge Charger was backing up, and it crashed into the other vehicle, pinning the woman and the girl. As a result, both pedestrians were seriously injured. The Dodge driver was allegedly under the influence of alcohol and was recommended a charge for intoxication assault.

If the allegations here are true, have authorities looked into where this driver was coming from? Investigations could show that a local alcohol provider, such as a bar or restaurant, illegally over-served the driver. That would expose them multiple legal penalties, such as fines, criminal investigations, or liability for the resulting injuries.
Unfortunately, that’s not something authorities often investigate on their own. Once there’s someone facing charges, they tend to move on. Well, I’ve helped hundreds of families confront negligent alcohol providers after a serious accident. They never want some bad guy to point their finger at. They want accountability. So as important as it is for a reckless drunk driver to face consequences, it would be irresponsible to put all of the focus on them when there could be an accomplice out there still putting the community at risk.
