Saw this on the news. Horrific. It was a week ago a well respected officer there was killed by a drunk driver.
 https://dfwscanner.net/2024/08/19/intoxicated-driver-kills-5-in-fiery-fort-worth-crash/?_KBTIbXeq7B_Wy40wc94ImaKkJ-y_3g3Q1R4iHbrY_aem_9OhuG1wCwHaNeOffMBa7gg The Fort Worth Police Department is investigating a fatal crash that occurred on Monday, August 19, 2024, at 12:30 a.m. in the 4800 block of South Freeway near the Seminary Drive exit. South Division officers, Fort Worth FD, and MedStar EMS responded to an accident call involving two vehicles. The investigation revealed that a black vehicle was traveling at a high rate of speed and rear ended a sedan at the Seminary Drive exit ramp causing the sedan to catch on fire. There were five occupants inside the sedan who did not survive. The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Officer will release the identity of the deceased once next-of-kin has been notified. The driver of the black vehicle suffered serious injuries and was taken to an area hospital for medical treatment and then to jail. Eduardo Gonzalez, 19-year-old male of Fort Worth, is charged with five counts of Intoxication Manslaughter with Vehicle and Driving While Intoxicated. |

Most he can get is 20 years on each count, and the judge can possibly run each sentence consecutively. That may or may not happen.

Did Eduardo have a driver's license and insurance? 🤔 Was he a US citizen? 🤔🤔

More info in this story
FORT WORTH, Texas (WKRC) - The driver of a Camaro was arrested after an alleged DWI crash left five people dead Monday. According to WFAA,19-year-old Eduardo Gonzalez was taken into custody after the Camaro he was driving slammed into back of another car, killing all five people inside. The crash occurred on I-35 westbound in Forth Worth, Texas. Authorities told WFAA that Gonzalez was speeding when he drove onto the northbound exit ramp and rear-ended the sedan. Investigators told the station that the sedan was so badly burned that they were unable to tell how old the victims were.An ambulance crew told WFAA that three adults and two children had been traveling in the sedan. "I can only imagine that it was a very traumatic scene," an officer told the station. When speaking with WFAA's reporters, officers said there were "clues" found inside Gonzalez's Camaro that indicated that he had been drinking, with detectives noticing "patterns" during an interview that led them to believe he had been drinking prior to the crash. According to WFAA, Gonzalez was taken to the hospital with minor injuries before being released to authorities. He is now in jail, facing DWI charges, along with five counts of intoxication manslaughter, per the outlet. |

Street racing is a daily ritual. One car weaving and speeding through traffic will attract others to do the same as they pass by, creating a line of racing lane weavers. Fucking idiots.

When we were in Huntington Beach some years back, a drunk driver hit a stopped car with 3 teens inside and pushed them into a pole, trapping them. The vehicle caught on fire and they couldn't get out. The driver got 51 years. |

Same thing happened with the NFL player in Vegas. Slammed his corvette into the back of a vehicle that burst into flames. I'm thinking a low-sitting sports car is more likely to slide under the rear bumper and make contact with the gas tank. |

In the first law, an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it. In the second law, the force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration. In the third law, when two objects interact, they apply forces to each other of equal magnitude and opposite direction. |

Police spokesperson makes it point to say "once the accident report is completed, they'll have more information about his residency, legal status, and things like that..."  Doesn't look like he hit the car at 120 mph. I would expect a lot more damage at that kind of speed. |

After owning a towing co for 30 years I have seen a lot of DUI crashes. Always seems if anyone lives it's the drunk driver. Some of these crashes are very tragic. A young high school aged scholar with excellent grades, sports star, or a family completely wiped out. Lives snuffed out by a horrible decision. It effects many people beyond the immediate family. sad
