Commentary:
Even though it is not mentioned anywhere in the news article, I’m curious to see if alcohol played a role in this accident. Anytime a crash happens at or around last-call at bars (2:00 a.m. in the State of Texas), I cant help but feel that there is a possibility. If alcohol is determined to have played a role, then finding out where the alcohol came from should be the next task. Texas is one of the few states lucky enough to have both first and third party dram protections, which cover both the customer of bars, and anybody they hurt in the event of an alcohol-related accident caused by negligent service.
