Commentary on Fatal Car Accident on FM 2777 in Freestone County
With a crash like this, it's important to understand how complex things can get when getting answers for victims and families. For instance, police say alcohol could be a factor here. If evidence shows that to be true, will they also determine where the alcohol came from?

Bars and other establishments can be liable under dram shop law for contributing to deadly wrecks if they illegally over-served the driver. That's not the kind of thing authorities tend to look into on their own, which is why I am so adamant about independent investigations.
Whether this was due to alcohol, mechanical defects, distraction, a medical condition, road hazards, or even some other reckless driver that left the scene, it's best to get as much evidence as possible and to let the evidence speak for itself. Are those steps being taken here?
