How Did This Accident Occur?
Authorities seem to be sure that intoxicated driving led to this crash. It’s possible they’re mistake—I’ve seen them make that mistake before—but let’s say, hypothetically, evidence proves intoxication led to this crash. It would then be important to determine if alcohol or drugs were the intoxicant. Let me explain why that distinction would matter.
In Texas, alcohol is a unique causal factor because it can lead to more than one party being responsible for a crash. Alcohol providers can be responsible for an accident caused by an intoxicated person whom they unlawfully over-served. That means bars, restaurants, liquor stores, and even gas stations can get in trouble if their recklessness leads to a serious drunk driving crash. Drugs, on the other hand, work completely differently. There’s rarely anyone else besides the driver responsible for the crash.
That’s why a crash like this is never as open-and-shut as it may seem. Again, it could turn out that no one was actually intoxicated here. It could be that extenuating circumstances led to the crash which aren’t public yet. But if there was indeed an intoxicated driver involved here, seeing them face charges may only be telling half the story.
