San Antonio, TX — March 27, 2024, one person was injured following an alleged intoxicated driver accident at around 10:30 p.m. on Interstate 35.
According to current reports, the crash happened at the I-35 and Northeast Loop 410 interchange at Binz Engelman.
Authorities say that a 34-year-old was in a Buick Enclave that became disabled along the side of I-35. Another person stopped to assist, and the two were reportedly working on the Buick. As they did so, however, a Ford truck left its lane and crashed into the stopped vehicles, hitting the 34-year-old in the process.
The 34-year-old driver sustained serious injuries as a result of the collision. It’s unclear if the other person by the disabled vehicle was injured.

The driver of the Ford was reportedly arrested for intoxication assault. Authorities didn’t say whether the intoxicant was drugs or alcohol. Believe it or not, that’s a significant distinction.
Folks tend to think of these crashes only in terms of the intoxicated drivers and the people they hit. In a lot of crashes like this, further investigations show the driver was illegally over-served by a bar. They, too, can be held accountable for their actions leading to a serious accident. Simply put, following hundreds of cases against negligent alcohol providers, I have yet to encounter an alcohol provider that faced charges, liability, fines, or penalties that didn’t then clean up their act.
So when folks demand justice after an intoxicated driving accident, remember that a driver in cuffs might not be the end of the story.
