Police was in pursuit of drunk driver when fatal wreck occurs

Monday, August 9th, 2010
A Texas police officer was in pursuit of a drunk driver when the truck he was chasing smashed into a motorcycle, killing the driver.

The officer from Liberty Hill, Texas saw the driver swerving all over the wrong side of Highway 29. Despite the fact that the police officer had his lights and siren on, the driver refused to stop and forced several other drivers off the road before running into the motorcycle. Even then, he continued down the road for some distance before coming to a stop.

According to an affidavit, the driver was under the influence of either drugs or alcohol and had a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08.

Drunk drivers are a danger to all of us. If you or a member of your family has been harmed by a drunk driver, please contact an Texas attorney who specialized in in this sort of thing. Insurance companies are notorious for making unreasonably low settlement offers and, often, only a skilled Texas accident lawyer can force them to offer a reasonable settlement.
