Suspect arrested in fatal DWI hit-and-run

Twenty-six year old Luis Daniel Cavazos of Brownsville is behind bars after allegedly killing an elderly woman in a DWI hit-and-run accident.
 
The pedestrian car wreck occurred off Morningside Road in Brownsville around 2am on Friday, January 15.  Cavazos drove off the road and hit 68-year-old Maria Eleno Trevino as she was sweeping her patio. Mrs. Trevino was killed. Her husband was injured  and taken to a local hospital for treatment.
 
Cavazos drove off and left the scene of the crime. He was arrested after crashing further down the road.  Police believe alcohol was a contributing factor to the accident. Cavazos is being held under an intoxicated manslaughter charge.
  
Often drivers who are intoxicated will leave the scene of an accident because they know they are at fault. If you are in an accident with a hit-and-run driver, you will want to remember as many details about the crash as possible. But, police advise that you do not try to chase down the other driver as they may become violent if they feel threatened.
  
If you’ve been injured in by a driver under the influence, you are entitled to compensation for your injuries, lost wages and pain and suffering. However, if the driver has left the scene of the crash, you may have trouble getting this compensation. An experience Texas car crash attorney can make the difference.
