Speed and alcohol don’t go together and unfortunately one group of friends is learning that in the worst way possible. According to police in Garland, an accident involving an SUV carrying five passengers was caused due to a combination of alcohol and car speed. Just before dawn on Wednesday morning, the SUV crashed head-on to a utility pole on the LBJ Freeway (I-635).

A woman died in the wreck and police said the four other passengers were rushed to either Parkland Hospital or Baylor Medical Center. The male driver of the SUV is in critical condition – all of the riders in the car were in their 20s.

It’s like oil and water – drinking and driving just don’t mix. This is such a tragedy for such a young group of friends. Sometimes young people believe they are invincible and drunk driving accidents like this prove that it could happen to you. Please don’t drink and drive – one doesn’t suit the other.
