Commentary on Teenagers Hurt in Car Accident on I-35 in Williamson County

Any mention of alcohol is obviously concerning, but a crash involving teenagers only makes that issue far more serious. One thing to consider, of course, is where that alcohol came from. While there are plenty of ways kids can get their hands on alcohol, the most concerning possibilities is someone gave it to them, potentially even a local business. Those businesses can face significant penalties, and they could even be liable for the crash itself under dram shop law if they over-served the driver. Did anything like that happen here? Have authorities been thorough enough to find out what all led to this crash? Getting answers could be a significant step in getting these kids the help they deserve.
