Wilson County, TX — November 10, 2023, a man sustained injuries following an alleged drunk driver accident at around 7:45 p.m. along Highway 97.
Preliminary details about the accident say that it happened near F.M. 304 outside of Floresville. A woman and two men were in a Chevy Malibu that was going eastbound along the highway. From oncoming lanes, authorities say that a Toyota Rav4 went left of center and crashed into the Chevy.
Due to the collision, a 66-year-old man from the Malibu had incapacitating injuries. There did not appear to be any other injuries. The driver of the Toyota allegedly was over the legal blood-alcohol limit, and authorities recommended a charge for intoxication assault.

Something I haven’t seen authorities talk about is where the allegedly drunk driver was coming from. There could be a lot more to this than just a drunk driver.
For example, I had a case not long ago with a driver who went into oncoming traffic and hit a family head-on, seriously injuring a young kid. Through our investigations, we found out the man was illegally over-served at a bar when he went out to a happy hour with co-workers. That led not only to the driver being in serious trouble but also the bar that over-served him, as they ended up the focus of a personal injury claim due to their role in the crash.
Authorities unfortunately don’t often look into negligent alcohol providers on their own, but sometimes officers are experienced enough to ask those questions. It remains to be seen if officers here took that initiative, though.
