Alleged DUI Accident Seriously Injures Harley Jones in Irving, TX
Update: The name of the injured biker is Harley Jones.
Credit: crimeblog.dallasnews.comIrving, TX — Police say that the accident that hospitalized a motorcyclist in Irving, Texas, on Friday, August 14, 2015, was caused by a drunk driver. The accident took place at the intersection of Belt Line and Rock Island roads, around 10:30 at night. Policed Chad Hill as the driver of an Oldsmobile Cutlass who was headed south on Belt Line and failed to yield the right of way as he made a left turn to a motorcyclist headed north. Hill collided with the motorcyclist, causing the man to break both arms and legs. Emergency workers took the man to Parkland Memorial Hospital.
Hill later told police that he had had three beers before getting in his car. He’s been charged with intoxication assault with a vehicle causing serious bodily injury. The accident is still being investigated.
Hill has allegedly told police that he drank several beers before getting behind the wheel of his vehicle. Where did those beers come from? The answer to that question is important because Texas law forbids bars and similar outlets to sell or serve liquor to those who are obviously intoxicated. This is a law that gets ignored quite often. And when it is, the bar can be held liable if the person they over-served goes out and gets into an accident. Unfortunately, too many bars out there feel that their responsibility to their customers goes no further than the front door. That’s not the case, and when they forget it, they need to be held accountable for it.

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.
