One Killed in Dallas Two-Vehicle Crash at Lawnview Avenue and Scyene Road

Dallas, Texas (January 2, 2021) – One person was killed in a two-vehicle crash on New Year’s Eve at a Dallas intersection, according to police.

The fatal crash happened around 8:45 p.m., December 31, at Lawnview Avenue and Scyene Road.

Police said a sedan was traveling westbound on Scyene Road when it t-boned a Toyota that was traveling southbound on Lawnview Avenue. 

The Toyota driver was killed in the crash. Their identity has not been released.

The sedan driver was taken to a local hospital for treatment. He has since been arrested for Driving While Intoxicated.

The police are investigating the crash.

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 a death occurred because of a drunk driver, you will want a knowledgeable accident lawyer to bring a wrongful death action against the drunk driver.
