WATCH: Worker Injured by Drunk Driver in Midday Crash

 

SAN ANGELO— A noon time crash near Bowie Elementary sent one person to the hospital and one to jail for driving while intoxicated.

Around noon on Friday, April 21, 2023, a crash occurred at the 3400 block of Westover Terrace where a white Acura sedan crashed with a parked Ram 3500 work truck. Medics arrived and took one of the workers to the hospital after he was dragged about 10 feet by the truck and trailer after the Acura hit the work truck.

The driver of the Acura, a 33-year-old man, was given a field sobriety test and after hardly being able to stand for the test, he was arrested for driving while intoxicated, no driver’s license, no insurance, failure to control speed, and driving left of center. Police surrounded the man as to keep him from falling over.

Angelo State Police arrived to speak with witnesses who were other workers on site as well as a couple pushing a baby stroller.
