As summer travel and holiday celebrations increase across Texas, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has launched its annual “Drive Sober. No Regrets.” campaign to remind motorists of the devastating consequences of impaired driving. This year’s campaign honors Carly Beatty, a 19-year-old Texas A&M University student whose life was cut short after she was struck by an impaired driver while walking home in College Station in 2019. Carly, a sophomore majoring in animal science, dreamed of becoming a veterinarian. According to TxDOT and her family, she was walking home with friends when an impaired driver struck her. Despite extensive medical treatment, she later died from her injuries. Her mother, Sue Beatty, has partnered with TxDOT to share Carly’s story in hopes of preventing other families from experiencing the same tragedy. The campaign coincides with increased summer travel and encourages drivers to plan ahead, use a designated driver, or choose a rideshare instead of driving under the influence. According to TxDOT, impaired driving continues to claim hundreds of lives across Texas each year. Even small amounts of alcohol or drugs can impair judgment, reaction time, and the ability to safely operate a motor vehicle. The agency’s campaign serves as a reminder that every impaired driving decision has the potential to change lives forever. When an impaired driver causes a serious or fatal collision, preserving evidence is critical. Important evidence may include police crash reports, toxicology results, field sobriety testing records, dash-camera and surveillance footage, vehicle event data recorder (EDR) information, witness statements, cell phone records, and accident reconstruction evidence. Acting quickly can help ensure that this evidence is preserved before it is lost or destroyed.
