How Did This Accident Occur?
This crash seems relatively straight-forward, but it still warrants a full investigation. That investigation should include looking into where the Buick driver had been driving before the crash, if blood tests prove she was intoxicated.
That is not part of many law enforcement investigations, but under Texas law alcohol providers can share responsibility for injuries caused by patrons who were served while obviously intoxicated. That means a bar or restaurant may have played a role in this crash, but the only way to know is for someone to dig into the Buick driver’s activities before the crash.
The injured Chevrolet driver and her family deserve to know everyone who may have caused this accident.
