Occurred Thursday, September 06, 2012, 13:51, 8700 State Highway 358 at Oso Bridge, Major Vehicle Crash C1206800, & 1209060077

                Thursday afternoon traffic was disrupted for two and a half hours by a major vehicle crash caused by a 35-year-old man arrested for Driving While Intoxicated on South Padre Island Drive at the Oso Bridge.

A black 2007 Ford 500, four door car, was operated by 35-year-old George Crumbock (5/4/1977) on the eastbound lanes of South Padre Island Drive over the Oso Bridge. Crumbock traveled faster than the posted speed limit and swerved through traffic until the car struck the trailer of a work truck from behind.

The trailer was towed by a white 2001 Ford F-150 operated by a 33-year-old man who was taken to Bay Area Hospital by ambulance for minor injuries.

Investigating Corpus Christi Police Officers discovered evidence at the scene that led them to conclude that alcohol was a contributing factor in the cause of the crash. Crumbock was taken to the hospital for a medical evaluation and then arrested for driving while intoxicated. Officers discovered a white crystal powder in Crumbock’s car and additionally charged Crumbock with Possession of a Controlled Substance.

No other vehicles were involved in the crash and no other injuries were reported.
