The annual death toll from traffic crashes in the United States averages more than 30,000 each year. Of this number, more than 10,000 of the deaths are due to drunken drivers. Our Harris County wrongful death attorneys emphasize that those are troubling numbers.
Despite educational campaigns, stiffer penalties for drunken driving, and monitors like IIDs (ignition interlock devices), the numbers don’t seem to change much from year to year. Local news rolls over a continuous litany of victims tragically killed or seriously injured because of drunken driving.
Reportedly on Friday, Cherissa Cici, a passenger in a Chevy Corvette driven by Stade Williams, died when Williams lost control of the Chevy at excessive speed. The Chevy Corvette struck a brick mailbox, went into a ditch, and rolled over several times. Ms. Cici died at the hospital to which the injured Stade Williams, suspected of drunken driving in the crash, was also taken.
The Harris County wrongful death attorneys at Denena Points, PC have the deepest sympathies for the family and friends of Ms. Cici. The deadly drunken driving crash occurred at Grace Street by Wayne Lane in Harris County. Harris County continues to lead the state in the number of drunken drivers and drunken driving crashes. And Texas leads the nation in fataldrunken driving accidents.
