How Did This Accident Occur?
Drivers are supposed to move over when there is an emergency vehicle, like a tow truck, on the road, but that obviously didn’t happen in this instance. This accident seems relatively straight forward, but is still warrants investigation. The primary question investigators should try to answer is where the pickup driver had been drinking before this crash.
Under Texas law, alcohol providers can share responsibility for injuries caused by someone who was served while obviously intoxicated. I’m not saying that is what happened before this accident, but it is worth looking into so the tow truck operator’s family will know everyone who may have played a role in this crash.
