Drunk driving accident sends one to hospital

No Comments

A drunk driving accident sent one to the hospital on Sam Houston Blvd.

A 38-year-old man struck another vehicle and then fled the scene of the accident. The driver of the car that was hit was immediately transported to the hospital with serious injuries.

An officer later found the 38-year-old driver’s car by noticing the damage on his car and thinking it would be congruent to the accident. A field sobriety test was done to the man and he failed this and the blood test that was ran.

Drunk driving accidents can cause serious injury and legal issues for any offenders. Our thoughts are with the family of the victim.
