According to news reports a speeding pickup truck started a chain reaction accident on I-30 near Cooper Street in Arlington Texas on Wednesday Nov. 17 around 6 p.m. Fourteen vehicles were involved in the pileup and one person was taken to John Peter Smith Hospital and was listed in stable condition. Three other injured persons were also taken to a hospital where they were treated for non-life-threatening injuries. Tiara Richard an Arlington police spokeswoman said that alcohol may have played a role in the accident.
If alcohol contributed to this massive pileup the injured victims could hold an alcohol-serving establishment like a bar or a restaurant civilly liable for their injury if such an establishment was negligent in their care of a patron that may have caused this accident. However if such an entity was or was not involved the driver that started the chain of events resulting in injuries may be liable for simple negligence i.e. reckless driving. In such instances it may take the discoveries of an independent investigation in order to assess all liable parties.
