How NOT to Drive: Drunken Driver Clips “Low-flying” Rescue Chopper

Our Galveston injury lawyers refer you to a news item reminding you to take care on this Thanksgiving holiday. Don’t drink and drive. And don’t let your friends or loved ones drink and drive either. If you do, you might just see them featured in our next web postings. And the postings might not be all that flattering.

For instance, in the referenced post on the DWI chain reaction wreck in Palestine, TX, the sodden driver who clipped a LifeFlight helicopter on a mission to save an injured wreck victim might capture your attention. Then that driver reportedly asked a trooper why that helicopter had been flying so low.

How drunk do you have to be? You know you’re truly drunk when….

That drunk driver’s reported statement led me to idly speculate on what readers might think DWI actually meant in the context of his arrest. Dim Witted Inquiry? Certainly, Driving While Impaired. Many other possibilities might spring to your mind. (They’d sprung to my mind. But I don’t feel that I should print them.) Our Galveston injury lawyers don’t really want to know what everyone thinks those other possibilities behind the letters “DWI” might be. We are depressed enough by this DWI accident as it is.

This accident, in all its chain-reaction horror and incongruity, seems to represent a classic example of the rash of needless, fatal, and costly DWI accidents that our Galveston injury lawyers read about all over Texas on a daily basis. The rash of hideous DWI accidents needs to stop.

Each concerned Texan can take a hand in stopping the DWI mayhem, catastrophic injuries, and DWI accident fatalities. Don’t serve drinks to anyone that you know will be driving home later. Don’t let anyone you know get behind the wheel after they’ve been drinking. Just don’t do it. Take a stand. Save a life… maybe even your own.
