Accident Report
June 13, 2026, at least to people were injured in an alleged drunk driver accident just after 3:00 a.m. along Business U.S. 83.
According to authorities, three people—a 42-year-old man, a 19-year-old woman, and a 20-year-old man—were traveling in a southbound Ford Edge on Tower Road at the Business U.S. 83 intersection when the accident took place. Officials indicate that, for reasons yet to be confirmed, a collision occurred in the intersection between the Edge and an eastbound Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck occupied by a 23-year-old man that had allegedly been under the influence of alcohol. Also involved in the wreck were a southbound Kia Sorento occupied by a 20-year-old man, as well as a northbound Chevrolet Tahoe.
The 19-year-old woman from the Ford Edge and the man who had been driving the Silverado reportedly suffered serious injuries over the course of the accident. The other two people from the Edge and the man from the Sorento may have been injured, as well, according to reports.
Authorities have apparently recommended intoxication assault charges against the Silverado’s driver. Additional details pertaining to this incident—including the identities of the victims—are not available at this point in time. The investigation is currently ongoing.
How Did This Accident Occur?
Most people, upon hearing about this accident, will be hyper focused on the accident itself. I certainly do not want to mitigate the importance of the scene of the wreck. However, after over three decades working countless alcohol-related cases, I hope that the investigators think to look beyond the crash scene itself. It’s important to find out where the man had actually been doing his drinking.
If he had been drinking at a private residence, then that is one thing. However, if he had been drinking at an establishment that serves alcohol—such as a restaurant or a bar—then it is possible that he was overserved. If that does turn out to have been the case, then the person(s) who made the decision to continue serving him drinks even after he was obviously intoxicated hold a not insignificant portion of the responsibility for the outcome of the wreck.
Okay, so what can be done about it? Well, there is a lesser-known tool called Dram Shop Law. When someone is hurt or killed in an accident caused by someone who was overserved, then this law allows for the establishments where the driver was overserved to be held accountable for the part they played.
For those affected by this accident, having that kind of accountability extended to everyone who deserves it can do a lot to help with closure. This can only happen if those looking into it are thorough enough to follow the trail of the alcohol to its source and assess whether or not overservice was a contributing factor. Hopefully the investigators—whether the authorities or a third party—get to the bottom of it.
