HOUSTON, TX — One person was hurt in a collision in Houston, Texas on Friday, June 6th, 2014, according to the news article released by Click 2 Houston.
Investigators from the Houston Police Department believe that one person was hurt when the SUV they were driving stalled, and was struck from the rear in the emergency lane around 10:30 Friday night on the Katy Freeway.
Scene of the Accident
The driver of the stalled car was taken by EMS personnel where she was last listed in serious condition by a hospital staff member.
Police working with accident investigators are trying to determine if alcohol was a contributing factor.
The investigation is ongoing.
Commentary:
If alcohol is determined to have caused this accident, victims may be interested to hear that the driver alone may not bear all of the fault in this crash. In the State of Texas, if a customer of a bar, restaurant, or nightclub is over-served, and the customer leaves their establishment only to cause an accident where they, or another person is injured, the bar that failed to serve alcohol in a safe manner could be held accountable right along side the drunk driver. I’ve said it a million times, and I’ll say it again, the only way bars will begin to see drunk drivers as a liability, is when they are held liable for the drunk drivers they fuel.
