I saw this article on khou.com, a local news station’s website. The Gulf Freeway, in southeast Houston, was shut down to reenact a scene involving a recent traffic fatality. A man charged with intoxication manslaughter was allegedly speeding down the gulf freeway, driving aggressively and changing lanes, when he slammed into another vehicle at a high rate of speed resulting in the death of both occupants.

Think about that. Too much to drink, trying to get home too fast, and in the blink of an eye – two innocent people are dead. As a personal injury lawyer here in Houston, I see the tragic results of bad decisions on a very regular basis.

Decisions have consequences, particularly when they involve the physics of a 4000 lb vehicle traveling at 70mph.

If you drink – don’t drive. Period. No excuses.
