Much of our society turns a blind eye to drunkenness and to drinking and driving. Somehow we manage to ignore the fact that drunken drivers kill, maim, and ruin lives on a regular basis. I just don’t understand that. News headlines are regularly filled with the death and injury toll from drunken driving accidents.
Our Houston auto accident attorneys note that in many cases, the drunken driver is among the dead or injured victims of their wreck. Just the other day in Dallas, a suspected drunken driver was behind the wheel of a pickup truck that ran a red light and slammed into an SUV. The SUV contained 6 children and 3 adults. All 9 of these people were hospitalized with injuries from the wreck, as was the driver of the pickup. Several of the children in the SUV were ejected from the vehicle on impact.
Just the act of running a red light risks lives and serious injuries. Friday night in northwest Harris County, Lavada Armington Gilder reportedly ran a red light at Bammel North Houston and the North Sam Houston Parkway service road. Unfortunately, she ran the red light in front of a couple of street racing vehicles and died in the resulting crash. Her husband, riding in her vehicle, was hospitalized with injuries from the tragic accident.
The Houston auto accident attorneys at Denena Points, PC urge you to not take chances with lives, yours or any others. Don’t drink and drive. And don’t run red lights or stop signs. Houston and Dallas, with their ever-increasing traffic congestion, are dangerous enough places to drive already.
