Why does it seem even more tragic when accidents happen around the holidays? Sadly, they happen, and seem to happen even more often. Here in Los Angeles that is very often.
It can be a depressing time for some, causing them to drink more than usual, and for some, they drink more to celebrate.
A few days before Christmas, an intoxicated driver caused a head-on collision that ended with the death of a vehicle passenger in north central Harris County, according to investigators. Someone may need a good Houston accident lawyer in this particular case and maybe a wrongful death, DUI or personal injury lawyer overall.
A report titled, “Intoxication blamed for fatal crash,” posted December 21, 2010, by Andrea Watkins for the news web site My Fox Houston, stated that witnesses informed Harris County Sheriff's deputies that a woman driving a Saturn sedan was heading southbound in the northbound lanes of U.S. Highway 59, the Eastex Freeway.
All in all, this particular case sort of reminds me of a DUI or DWI case in Manhattan which occured a while back that was a result of criminal negligenece. By the way if you need a great Los Angeles car accident attorney then I do suggest this top firm which also does personal injury plus car accident related cases in Los Angeles.
Sgt. Susan Cotter with the Harris County Sheriff's Office was quoted as saying, "According to witnesses, the female that was going the wrong direction on the freeway was driving approximately 90 miles per hour at the time of the crash."
Apparently the Saturn smashed head-on into a Mercedes heading northbound just before 2:30 a.m. Tuesday.
Andrea Watkins quoted Sgt. Cotter as saying the 22-year-old driver of the Saturn was charged with intoxication

Another tragic DWI Tale on our Highways
Well it is good to be back in Little Rock after my trip to Manhattan to see my attorney. You know, a DUI or a DWI and the pain it causes just never seems to go away. All in all, the following is an all too familiar instance:
According to reports, it has been reported that eighteen yo Tynielle Silvera died right away when Ken Serwan, 46, who is a Lindenhurst resident with a wife and 3 teenage children (great role model hugh?), apparently simply crashed into here in his vehicle. For his part, he at least had the sense to wait next to his victim’s body for help to arrive, unlike some of the others that I have read about. Now he will likely need a DUI, Little Rock DWI attorney or perhaps a criminal defense attorney as well depending.
Mrs. Silvera was quoted as stating, "My child had so much promise. He should rot in hell." It was reorted that she had to be held upright by relatives and court officers as she was led from the courtroom screaming and slamming her fists against the walls.
Algar, Maniace, and Sanderson also report that the defensent in question has a prior DWI or DUI related arrest from 1992. He was being held in lieu of $100,000 bail.
Investigators have not yet determined Serwan’s speed and whether he had a red or green light at the intersection, according to the article.
Serwan works as a database manager and is a youth-soccer coach.
For her part, she (Mrs. Silvera) was quoted as saying, "He is a murderer. He killed my child. He needs to be put away. He should not even be arraigned. He should be hung."
As a sad footnote to this unfortunate story, Tynielle Silvera was enrolled for the fall semester at Nassau Community College, had a steady boyfriend who was quoted as saying she was the only girl he ever loved.
