Drunken Driver Arrested After Hit And Run Kills Motorcyclist In Fort Worth
A Fort Worth man was killed this morning when his motorcycle collided with a drunken driving suspect, police said. Luis Ruiz, 34, died at the scene of the accident in the 1300 block of North Main Street, south of the Fort Worth Stockyards. The crash happened shortly before 2:30 a.m. when a driver headed south on main street turned in front of the biker at Northside Drive. The driver has not been identified yet but cowardly fled the scene. He was caught across the Trinity River in the 1100 block of Locust Street. He was arrested on a charge of intoxication manslaughter.
This weekend if you are going out to drink, please be smart about it. Call a taxi, have a designated driver, or don’t plan on driving. Most of the time when one mixes drinking, driving, and 2:30 a.m. they are not going to like the outcome. It is sad to read another story about one’s life being taken from a careless drunk driver. My condolences go out the innocent victim and his family.
