One Injured in San Antonio Two-Vehicle Crash at Walzem Road and Midcrown Drive

San Antonio, Texas (July 6, 2020) – One person was injured Sunday night in a suspected DUI crash in San Antonio’s Northeast Side, according to police.

The crash happened around 9:30 p.m. on July 5, at the intersection of Walzem Road and Midcrown Drive.

Police said a black pickup truck ran a red light at the intersection and was struck by a minivan that had a green light.

A female passenger in the minivan was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The pick-up driver, a 19-year-old man, was arrested on suspicion of Driving While Intoxicated.

The crash remains under investigation.

We wish the injured victim a quick recovery.

In Texas, a driver is legally intoxicated after consuming alcohol if their blood alcohol content (BAC) is .08% or higher. A driver is also considered intoxicated if they don’t have the normal use of their mental or physical faculties by reason of the introduction of alcohol. Alcohol however is not the only intoxicant, as drivers can become intoxicated by ingesting prescription and illegal drugs such as crack, marijuana, and cocaine.

Regardless of what substance caused the driver’s reaction time to become significantly altered, intoxication by any means can cause terrible accidents and injuries.

Innocent victims harmed by drunk drivers are entitled to compensation for their injuries, including but not limited to medical expenses; lost wages; pain and suffering and mental anguish; physical impairment and disability; and most importantly, punitive damages to deter future conduct. 

If you have been injured because of a drunk driver, you will want a knowledgeable accident lawyer to bring a  personal injury action against the drunk driver.
