Commentary on Donna Man Car Accident on Moore Road in Hidalgo County
It's not surprising to see authorities bring up alcohol simply due to how common it is. To be clear, they may have brought it up just because it's standard procedure. Anything from medical conditions to mechanical issues to tire blowouts to fatigue can cause a crash like this. But if alcohol was a factor, investigations must also consider where the alcohol came from.

This is due to dram shop law, which says that an alcohol provider who over-serves an obviously intoxicated person can be liable for damages resulting from that intoxication. If something like that happened here, shouldn't a business take responsibility for their role in a deadly crash? There's no doubt a family out there that wants to know they're at least getting the full story.
