San Marcos, TX — November 9, 2025, three people were injured in an alleged drunk driver accident at approximately 9:45 p.m. along Farm to Market 110.
According to authorities, two people—a 23-year-old man and a 20-year-old woman—were traveling in a westbound Ford Crown Victoria on F.M. 110 in the vicinity east of State Highway 123 when the accident took place.
Officials indicate that an eastbound GMC Terrain—occupied by a 28-year-old man who had allegedly been under the influence of alcohol—drove on the wrong side of the roadway. It was consequently involved in a head-on collision with the Ford.
The man and woman from the Ford both reportedly sustained serious injuries over the course of the accident. The man from the GMC suffered minor injuries, as well, according to reports.
Additional details pertaining to this incident—including the identities of the victims—are not available at this point in time. The investigation is currently ongoing.

When I read about a wrong-way collision like this one—especially when it happens late in the evening and involves suspected impairment—it raises questions that often go unasked. A crash this serious doesn’t just happen in a vacuum. Even if one driver appears clearly at fault, there’s still a broader story that deserves attention: How did this person end up behind the wheel in that condition, and could someone else have helped prevent it?
If reports are accurate and alcohol played a role in this crash, then a key question becomes where the driver had been drinking before getting on the road. Under Texas law, if a bar, restaurant, or any alcohol-serving business provided alcohol to someone who was already obviously intoxicated, and that person went on to cause harm, that provider may be legally responsible. Dram shop law exists precisely for this reason—because the chain of accountability doesn’t always end with the driver.
A head-on crash like this one, involving young passengers and serious injuries, is exactly the kind of situation where a deeper investigation is warranted. Not just into what happened on the road, but into the choices made hours earlier that may have contributed. Those affected deserve answers—not only about the driver’s actions, but also about whether anyone else enabled those actions by overserving someone who should never have been behind the wheel.
Three key takeaways:
- Texas dram shop law allows injured parties to investigate whether an alcohol provider overserved a visibly intoxicated person who later caused a crash.
- Serious nighttime crashes involving wrong-way drivers often begin long before the wreck—at the place where alcohol was served.
- Legal tools exist to uncover the full story, even when initial reports focus only on the driver; families may have options they don’t yet realize.
