Amarillo, TX — March 6, 2025, Bradley Andrews, Christymarie Cantu and a teen were injured in a suspected drunk driver accident at about 10:15 p.m. at Hillside Road and Bell Street.
Authorities said a 2017 Dodge Charger lost control while racing with another vehicle and crashed into four cars that were stopped at a red light.
Three people in those vehicles suffered serious injuries in the crash, according to authorities. Bradley Andrews, 58, was driving a 2019 Ford Edge. Christymarie Cantu, 24, was driving a 2019 Nissan Altima. A 17-year-old Amarillo girl was driving a 2016 Ford Focus.
Three people in a 2016 Mitsubishi Lancer were not injured, authorities said.
The Charger driver is suspected of being intoxicated at the time of the crash, according to authorities. He said he had been drinking, so police ordered a blood test.
The driver of the Charger and a Chevrolet Camaro he had been racing were arrested after the crash, authorities said. They were charged with racing causing serious bodily injury.
Authorities have not released any additional information about the Randall County crash.

When people hear about a crash involving street racing and suspected intoxication, it’s easy to focus on the drivers’ reckless behavior, and for good reason. But what’s often left out is a deeper question: How did one of those drivers end up behind the wheel after drinking in the first place?
According to reports, one of the drivers admitted to drinking before the crash. That raises an important point: if he was already obviously intoxicated, someone may have broken the law by continuing to serve him. Under Texas dram shop laws, bars and restaurants can’t legally serve patrons who are clearly drunk. When they do, and someone gets hurt as a result, those businesses can be held accountable.
Most people don’t think of bars or restaurants when they hear about a crash like this. But more often than not, intoxicated drivers come from places that serve alcohol. That’s why it’s important to ask: Where did the drinking happen? Was this driver overserved? These aren’t minor details: they’re crucial parts of understanding how a preventable crash like this occurs.
At the end of the day, a complete investigation doesn’t stop with the arrest. It continues by asking whether an alcohol provider failed to follow the law and whether that failure contributed to the harm others suffered. That’s not just about getting answers for those hurt in the crash: it’s about making sure these kinds of incidents are less likely to happen again.
Getting the full truth helps protect the public. And identifying where the alcohol came from is a key part of that process.
