San Antonio, TX — June 30, 2024, a man was killed as the result of a car accident that happened at around 7:30 p.m. along Pleasanton Road.
According to initial details about the accident, the accident happened near the intersection of Pleasanton Road and Moursund Boulevard.
Investigators said that a 55-year-old man was a passenger in a Nissan Titan going northbound along Pleasanton Road. The vehicle lost control, causing it to run off the side of the road where it crashed into a tree. As a result of the collision, the passenger was killed. It’s unclear if the driver had any injuries. Authorities allege that the driver admitted to drinking alcohol, and they recommended charges.

It’s not my place to speak on any specific allegations here, but not a lot of people realize there’s often more than one party responsible for accidents involving alcohol. Many of them involve someone who was illegally over-served by a bar or similar establishment. If an alcohol provider over-serves someone, it can expose the alcohol provider to potential criminal investigations, fines, license suspensions, and possible liability if it results in people getting hurt or killed.
The reason not a lot of people know about this, frankly, is that authorities too often overlook it. I’ve helped hundreds of families hold negligent alcohol providers accountable for contributing to an accident, and more often than not, we’re the ones bringing the alcohol providers to the attention of authorities. All of their focus goes to charging a drunk driver rather than actually getting the whole story and getting the victims and families a complete picture of what happened. Maybe that isn’t what happened here, but it’s a possibility that deserves more attention than it tends to get.
