An Addison Police officer on patrol recently witnessed a major single-vehicle accident and immediately intervened. The officer assisted the driver in climbing out of the vehicle and ensured they received medical attention.
While the driver escaped serious injury, they were found to be heavily intoxicated and were subsequently arrested for Driving While Intoxicated (DWI).
The incident serves as a reminder during the holiday season to prioritize safety by planning ahead for transportation after celebrations. The Town of Addison Police Department urges individuals to use designated drivers, rideshare services, or other alternatives to avoid impaired driving.
