Some people, often younger in age, find it exhilarating to consume alcohol and then speed through the streets. The fun ends when an innocent pedestrian, another motorist or a passenger is critically injured or killed. Losing a loved one so suddenly in a fatal accident throws a family into a world of grief and heartache. One Texas man's family is in anguish after losing one of their own in a fatal accident.
The 22-year-old man was a passenger in the car of his friend, just a year older. The friend had been drinking when he decided to drive at a speed over the posted limit. A report did not specify if other cars were on the road, as it was around 2 a.m. on a Friday morning. The driver ran a red light and slammed into a telephone pole.
