San Antonio, TX — July 3, 2024, Anthony Gutierrez, Lauren Ramirez, and three others were injured following a car accident at 8:30 a.m. along Grissom Road.
According to information released by authorities, the accident happened in the area of the Grissom Road and Oakfield Way intersection.
Investigators said in their statements that 29-year-old Anthony Gutierrez was in a Dodge Grand Caravan going eastbound on Grissom. 31-year-old Lauren Ramirez was in a Ford F-150 going westbound. As the Dodge was making a turn, the two vehicles apparently collided. Due to this, Gutierrez and a woman in the Dodge had reportedly serious injuries. The driver of the Dodge and a child in the vehicle with Lauren Ramirez had less severe injuries. It’s unclear if Ramirez was injured.

Right now, details suggest that authorities suspect alcohol as a factor in the accident. I can’t confirm anything further about the accident, but alcohol just about always makes investigations into these accidents more complex. That’s because many such accidents involve negligent alcohol providers, and they, too, need to be investigated.
Simply put, alcohol providers in Texas can be in serious trouble when they illegally over-serve someone who is obviously intoxicated. It can result in criminal investigations, fines, license suspensions, or liability if it leads to people getting hurt. But I’ve handled hundreds of those kinds of cases, and authorities frankly tend to let those details slip through the cracks. Their priorities tend to focus solely on charging a driver rather than getting the victims and families actual answers about what legal avenues may apply to their situation. Perhaps they’ve been more thorough here, but it’s not something I would ever take for granted.
