Officers arrived and determined that a 2004 Ford truck driven by an 18 year old man was traveling east when the driver lost control of his vehicle and hit the outside cement wall.  After striking the wall, the truck traveled back across all three lanes of the freeway, and hit a Hummer HU3 driven by a 20 year old man.  The Hummer was then forced into a 2005 Ford Expedition that was occupied by six people. The force of that crash sent the Hummer across the center barricade and onto westbound lanes of the freeway.

Seven people were transported by CCFD EMS to hospitals. Five, including a 9 year old female and a 2 year old boy all went to Spohn Memorial Hospital. Two other children, a 10 year old boy and a six month old female were taken to Driscoll Children’s Hospital.

Phlebotomist On Duty During Holidays

The Christmas and New Years Day holidays often lead to an increase in the number of Driving While Intoxicated arrests made by the Corpus Christi Police Department. We want everyone to enjoy this holiday season. We ask that you act responsibly by not drinking and driving in our city. All drivers should avoid the risk of arrest, incarceration or tragedy that is associated with driving while intoxicated.

In an effort to assist law enforcement agencies in the investigation of suspected intoxicated drivers, the Nueces County District Attorney’s Office will provide a trained phlebotomist at the City of Corpus Christi Detention Center from 10 PM to 4 AM on Friday and Saturday, December 25 and 26 during Christmas.

Next week during New Year’s Eve and Day, the phlebotomist will be on duty on Thursday, Friday and Saturday,  December 31, January 1 and 2nd from 10 PM until 4 AM.

The Corpus Christi Police Department remains a “no refusal” agency all of the time. However during this holiday period, when a trained phlebotomist is at the CDC, our officers will not have to take suspects to the hospital in order to get a blood sample. This will make the DWI investigation more efficient and will get our officers back on the street much quicker.
