UPDATE: Oscar Soliz Injured in Car Accident on East San Antonio Avenue in El Paso, Texas

EL PASO, TX — Oscar Soliz was taken to the hospital after a major car accident that happened in El Paso, Texas on Friday, February 20th, 2015. News reports from the area said that the accident took place just before midnight.

24-year-old Oscar Soliz was taken to the hospital after the Buick he was driving left the eastbound lanes of East San Antonio Avenue and crashed for reasons currently under investigation. The vehicle crashed into a ditch after leaving the pavement.

Soliz was taken by EMS to University Medical Center where he was being treated for his injuries.

Police are trying to determine what role, if any, alcohol may have played in the accident.

Commentary:

Even though police have yet to confirm alcohol as a factor in this accident, people need to understand what can happen if it is confirmed. Many do not know just how accountable bars and other licensed liquor sellers/distributors can be in regards to accidents. If the driver in this accident had recently left a bar where a bartender or server encouraged them to stay for one more round, when the driver should have instead been cut off, the bar can, and should be held accountable. Any time I see a server say “are you sure you don’t want one for the road?”, I see it as a gun range instructor giving permission to a student to do something dangerous. If the bar illegally sold alcohol to an already intoxicated individual, that bar needs to be held accountable for any damage caused by the customer they could have cut off at their discretion.

I'm a former employee. I had brought up this exact scenario and suggested a maintenance procedure that would eliminate the possibility of this type injury. Obviously my warning went unheeded.

I was actually a couple cars back from this wreck, one of the first on the scene, and helped administer CPR on the victims. The truck driver was going way too fast, but it was actually his trailer that swung around and hit the suv, the semi-truck ended in the median.

A lot of people say smack about lawyers, but I want to say that I'm glad there is a way that people who are wronged by corporate neglect can get justice and force change. We are living in a world where corporations and govt care less than ever about common people, and I support your work. I hope I will never need your services.

Thank you for posting these accident articles on your site. At the company that I work for, e deal with monitoring construction activity and work around trenches and all sorts of construction equipment/vehicles. I sometimes wonder if construction companies have enough safety training to inform employees of how to protect themselves while on the job.
