Pedestrian Injured in Alleged Drunk Driver Accident on US 90 in San Antonio, TX
San Antonio, TX — October 11, 2025, one person was injured due to an alleged drunk driver accident around 4:08 p.m. along US Highway 90.
Investigators said in preliminary statements that the accident happened just off the US 90 and Loop 1604 intersection.
According to officials, a 29-year-old California man was on foot at the time along the westbound lanes of the highway. While there, a Chevy Equinox struck the man. As a result, the pedestrian was seriously injured.
Authorities allege that the Chevy driver was under the influence of alcohol at the time. They recommended charges for the driver.
Commentary
When a person is seriously hurt in a crash and authorities allege intoxication, it’s natural to assume that the person responsible will be held accountable. But in many cases, that accountability may not stop with the driver. If alcohol was indeed a factor here, the next important question is whether a negligent alcohol provider is also responsible for the accident.
Texas law recognizes that alcohol providers—like bars, restaurants, or convenience stores—have a responsibility not to over-serve someone who’s already obviously intoxicated. When that happens and a crash follows, the law allows for investigations into whether the alcohol provider’s actions contributed to the outcome.
If a local establishment over-served the driver in this case, then this incident may not be the result of one person’s poor judgment alone. As such, if investigators are only focusing their efforts on a single individual, they could be excusing a negligent establishment who might still be putting the community at risk.
Key Takeaways:
- If alcohol is confirmed as a factor, it’s important to understand where the driver got it and whether they were obviously intoxicated at the time.
- Texas law provides a path to hold alcohol providers accountable when they contribute to a crash by over-serving.
- Accountability doesn’t end with criminal charges—those injured can explore whether others enabled the harm through negligence.
