[09-29-2021] Sherman County, TX – One Person Injured After a Two-Vehicle Crash on Heritage Parkway

One person was injured after a two-vehicle crash involving a DUI driver on Heritage Parkway on Monday.

According to the initial reports from local authorities, the DUI crash occurred on Heritage Parkway.

The DUI driver, who was identified as Adrian G., was driving recklessly, weaving in and out of traffic cones and passing other vehicles before ultimately colliding head-on with an oncoming car.

The driver who collided with Galvan’s vehicle sustained severe injuries and was rushed to an area hospital for treatment.

The DUI driver was then arrested and taken to jail. He is currently facing DUI-related charges and intoxication assault with a vehicle. The accident is currently under further investigation.

Two-Vehicle Crash Statistics

All drivers have to use the law “due care under the circumstances.” The activities of somebody are considered negligent if they are not reasonably prudent. Negligent drivers could be poisoned or drugged, endangering your life. Any death or injury caused by a drunk driver could have been avoided.

The suspect was driving under the influence of drugs at the time of the accident, so the liability is evident in this case. Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is one of the most reckless and dangerous things a driver can do. Intoxicated drivers put innocent people — and themselves — in grave danger.

While Texas and the United States as a whole have made significant progress in terms of reducing drinking and driving, there is still a long way to go. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), DUI drivers kill approximately 10,000 people each year.

According to the Texas Department of Transportation, Texas saw a total of 24,617 DUI crashes in 2019 alone, which resulted in 812 deaths. With these figures in mind, it is evident that drunk driving is not worth it. If you drink and drive, you could seriously damage or even kill someone. Even if no one is wounded in the collision and you are jailed for DUI, it can negatively affect your family and your job.
