Where Drunk Driving Accidents Happen And How They Occur

Drunk driving crashes can take place anywhere, but they are especially common in high-traffic areas and places where alcohol is frequently served. In Grapevine, accidents involving impaired drivers may occur near:

• Restaurants and bars in the downtown district
• Hotel zones near DFW International Airport
• Highways and feeder roads, including SH-121 and SH-26
• Residential neighborhoods on weekends and during holidays
• Parking lots and local events where alcohol is available

DWI accidents can take many forms, depending on where they take place and how an impaired driver loses control of the vehicle. Common types of drunk driving collisions include:

• Head-On Collisions: Impaired drivers may drift across lanes or enter one-way streets in the wrong direction, leading to violent frontal impacts with other vehicles.
• T-Bone Accidents: A drunk driver may fail to stop at traffic lights or stop signs because they are speeding through an intersection or because they did not notice that a light had changed. These actions may result in a driver striking another vehicle from the side and inflicting serious injuries to a driver or passengers.
• Rear-End Collisions: Slow reaction times can prevent a drunk driver from braking in time when a vehicle in front of them slows down. They may crash into another car at a high speed, resulting in serious injuries.
• Sideswipe Accidents: A driver who is under the influence of drugs or alcohol may struggle to stay within their lane, increasing the risk of hitting other nearby vehicles.
• Rollover Accidents: High speeds and erratic driving by drunk drivers can lead to rollovers on curves or freeway ramps. These accidents can block traffic or cause a driver to crash into another vehicle, and they can be especially dangerous on highways or other roads with high speed limits.

In any of these scenarios, sober drivers and passengers may pay the price for another person's irresponsible decisions. Our lawyer will work to hold those drivers fully accountable under the law.
