2 killed in Fort Worth drunk driving accident

Two residents of Forest Hill, Texas, were killed in a two-vehicle accident on Sunday, November 1 when an alleged drunk driver struck their car in a residential area. The victims were identified as 76-year-old George Moon and 63-year-old Beverly Gayle Moon.

According to preliminary investigations, George Moon began feeling ill on Sunday morning and decided to go to John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth. Moon’s 45-year-old niece, along with her adult daughter, went to Moon’s home in order to take Moon and his wife to the hospital.

Moon and his wife, who were backseat passengers in the car operated by the niece’s daughter, were killed when 23-year-old Florida resident Jose Salinas-Gomez hit their car in a sport utility vehicle. Salinas-Gomez now faces charges of intoxication manslaughter and intoxication assault.

Man crashes truck into police car, firetruck

Police authorities reported that 26-year-old Armando Rodriguez crashed his truck into a parked patrol car last Monday, March 23 along Interstate 35W at Golden Triangle Boulevard in Fort Worth, Texas.

Rodriguez’s truck overturned and rested squarely on top of the police cruiser, damaging it extensively. Fortunately, the police cruiser was unoccupied when the accident happened. The patrol car was then forced into a nearby fire truck, injuring three firefighters. The firefighters were brought to Harris Methodist Hospital to treat their neck and back pains.

Rodriguez was thereafter taken into police custody for traffic safety violations which included failure to vacate a lane and failure to control speed to avoid collision. Police suspect that he was intoxicated at the time of the accident and are awaiting the results of a blood test.
