Two Injured in San Antonio Two-Vehicle Crash at US 90 Eastbound and Zarzamora

San Antonio, Texas (August 8, 2020) – Two people were injured early Saturday morning in a DUI crash in San Antonio, according to authorities.

The crash happened at about 12:00 a.m., on US 90 Eastbound and Zarzamora.

Authorities said a pickup truck was heading westbound in the eastbound lane of the highway when it crashed head-on into a car driven by a woman in her early 20s.

Both drivers were treated at the scene.

The pickup driver, a man in his 20s, was arrested on suspicion of DWI.

The authorities are investigating the crash.

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.
