SAN ANTONIO, TX — One person was hurt in a collision in San Antonio, Texas on Saturday, May 10th, 2014, according to a report from KENS5.
Police have said that there is reason to believe one woman was hurt when the vehicle she was driving was struck by another car while driving on Braun Road around 1:00 Saturday morning.
Scene of the Accident
Authorities transported one person to a nearby hospital where an update on their condition was immediately available by hospital staff. The driver of the vehicle is believed to have been drunk at the time of the crash.
The investigation is currently ongoing.
Commentary:
The number one question on people’s mind should be the whereabouts of the driver before the crash. Why is this significant information? Because if the driver was at a bar, the bar could be liable for the accident. How does this work? Simply put, if a person elects to become intoxicated at home, the responsibility to not be a danger to themselves of society is their own, but when that same person elects to drink at a bar, tavern, restaurant, or nightclub, then servers and bartenders are brought into that loop. If the bartenders and servers failed to cut off a drunk person, or served even one drink to an already-intoxicated person, the bar has over-served their customer, and can be liable for the damages of any accident they cause after leaving their bar.
