Drunk driving accident sends one to hospital

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.

Woman indicted in fatal DWI wreck

A woman has been indicted for the death of a bicyclist she allegedly hit in a DWI accident.

The woman was driving a Kia when she struck a 33-year-old bicyclist. A Breathalyzer test at the scene measured her blood alcohol content at 0.08 and the police officer on the scene originally said that alcohol was not the cause of the incident. The driver claims that she only had one cocktail and she did not see the bicyclist until after she hit him. A court date has not been scheduled, but the driver is currently out on bond.
