Drunk driver causes head-on crash on Washington Avenue
Unfortunately this is a fairly typical event for a holiday weekend in Houston. A drunk driver caused a head-on crash at around 2:15 a.m. on Memorial Day (Monday) morning. The male driver was heading westbound on Washington Avenue when he veered over into the center lane at Snover Street, hitting another car head-on, pushing that car backwards into a third vehicle. A female driver in the vehicle that was struck head-on was transported to the hospital. The suspected drunk driver was arrested at the scene: his name has not been released. Washington Avenue was temporarily shut down in both directions as police worked the scene.
