Drunk Driving Causes Death in Euless, Texas
Hurst, Texas resident Ricky Morrison, 32, died at the scene of an accident early Saturday morning in Euless when Cody Worrell, also 32, crashed his car into a utility pole and then into a tree.
Mr. Worrell was driving northbound in the 1200 block of Bear Creek Parkway. According to the Euless Police Department, Mr. Morrison died at the scene and Mr. Worrell was treated at the hospital for his injuries. He was taken to the Euless Jail later Saturday on charges of intoxication manslaughter.
Driving while intoxicated is obviously extremely dangerous. Over 1,400 deaths occur each year in Texas due to drunk driving. While this number has gone down over the years (it is about half of what it was in 1982), we clearly still have a long way to go.
