Scene of the Accident
Ray Doty was taken by EMS personnel to a nearby hospital for the treatment of his unspecified injuries. The passenger in the vehicle was identified as 19-year-old Devin Tinney.
The police are trying to determine what, if any role alcohol played in the accident.
San Angelo Police hope to release the investigation’s findings in the coming days.
Commentary:
If alcohol is found to have caused this accident, people may wonder how differently the situation would be held from a run of the mill crash. In Texas, there exist extensive liquor liability laws that allow citizens to hold bars liable for accidents caused by their negligent service. What constitutes negligent service? Any time a clearly intoxicated person is served, or a person is served from sobriety, beyond the point of obvious drunkenness, the bar can be held liable for any damage they cause after leaving.
