UPDATE (April 3, 2024): In recent statements, authorities allege that the Chevy Silverado driver that crashed with Edgar Alarcon was speeding and intoxicated at the time of the accident.

Police said they couldn’t confirm who ran the light, but if one of the drivers was speeding and under the influence of alcohol, I’d say odds are not in their favor.
But here’s why I wonder what more there could be to the story. If the allegations here prove true, that means a 20-year-old got their hands on alcohol. Was that from a local alcohol provider? Cause if so, those kinds of establishments are serious trouble. They rarely break just one rule; more often, they have a pattern of reckless behavior that puts the whole community in danger. So not only could there be a reckless driver responsible for a man’s death, there could be a local alcohol provider in need of a wake up call, as well. Is that something authorities have looked into here?
Wichita Falls, TX — March 15, 2024, Edgar Alarcon was killed and one person was injured in a car accident shortly before 8:45 p.m. along Holliday Street.
According to authorities, 39-year-old Edgar Alarcon was traveling in a southbound Chevy Colorado pickup truck on Holliday Street approaching the Kell West intersection when the accident occurred.
At the same time, a 20-year-old in a Chevy Silverado was traveling westbound on Kell West approaching the Holliday Street intersection. Officials indicate that, for as yet unknown reasons, a collision occurred at the intersection between the two pickups. Alarcon incurred reportedly fatal injuries as a result of the wreck; he was declared deceased at the hospital.
