Teen Injured in Car Accident on I-27 at I-40 in Amarillo, TX
Amarillo, TX — August 2, 2025, a teenager was injured as the result of a single-vehicle car accident around 6:49 a.m. on Interstate 27.
According to preliminary statements on the crash, it took place on the south end of the I-27 and I-40 interchange.
Authorities said that a 19-year-old was in a Chevy pickup traveling southbound along I-27. That vehicle somehow crashed into a fixed object at an overpass. Due to this, the teen driver sustained serious injuries.
Authorities say that the teen driver involved in the accident was over three times the legal limit for alcohol. Other details are not confirmed right now.
Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman
If it's true that alcohol was a factor here, have authorities found out where that alcohol came from? There are plenty of ways someone under 21 can get their hands on alcohol, but particularly concerning is the possibility a local establishment provided it to them.
That would suggest the possibility not only that there's a business providing alcohol to underage drinkers but also one possibly unlawfully over-serving people to an egregious degree. Texas law allows those negligent alcohol providers to be held accountable, so this situation may extend far beyond the crash scene itself. If authorities aren't considering that, they might be missing crucial context that needs to be addressed.
