FORT WORTH, TX — A single-vehicle accident claimed the life of one driver in Fort Worth, Texas on Saturday, May 3rd, 2014, according to a news article from My Fox DFW.
Authorities from the Fort Worth Police Department currently have reason to believe one person was killed when the vehicle while driving on Loop 820 near the intersection with Sun Valley Drive at around 2:30 Saturday morning.
Scene of the Accident
The driver was ejected from the vehicle while it rolled several times. They were killed in the crash.
Officials from the Fort Worth Police Department are currently investigating the crash.
Commentary:
While the article makes no mention of it, the fact that this accident happened at or around closing time for bars leads me to believe that this accident could be alcohol related. If this turns out to be the case, finding out where the driver was coming from should be the first order of business. Why is this significant information? In the State of Texas, when a person decides to drink at home, they become their own responsibility. When that very same person walks into a bar to drink, they are now to some degree under the care of bartenders and servers, who are obligated to cut off somebody when they become intoxicated. If the bar failed in this duty, they could be held liable for the accident.
