A pedestrian was killed in Fort Worth after being struck by a suspected drunk driver, according to FOX 4. The crash happened on June 11, 2026, in the 4000 block of E. Rosedale Street. Police said a vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed hit a pedestrian who was crossing the street. The vehicle then continued driving with the pedestrian on the hood before stopping near E. Rosedale Street and Miller Avenue. The pedestrian, identified as 50-year-old Jack Vogt, was pronounced dead at the scene. Police arrested 35-year-old Jory Durst after a DWI evaluation and charged him with intoxication manslaughter. This is a heartbreaking loss for Jack Vogt’s family and loved ones. When a pedestrian is killed by a suspected drunk driver, the family deserves answers, accountability, and a full investigation into every fact surrounding the crash. Why This Matters Fatal drunk driving cases may involve both criminal charges and civil claims. The criminal case can punish the accused driver, but it does not fully address the financial and emotional harm suffered by the victim’s family. A wrongful death claim may help surviving family members pursue compensation for funeral expenses, lost income, mental anguish, loss of companionship, and other damages. A Fort Worth intoxication manslaughter crash should be investigated quickly and aggressively. Key evidence may include the crash report, toxicology results, body camera footage, dash camera footage, 911 calls, witness statements, surveillance video, vehicle damage, cell phone records, alcohol purchase records, bar or restaurant receipts, and crash reconstruction findings. Depending on the facts, investigators may also need to determine where the driver was drinking before the crash and whether a bar, restaurant, or other alcohol provider overserved an obviously intoxicated person. In Texas, a dram shop claim may apply when alcohol was served to an obviously intoxicated person who then caused a crash.

How Wooley Law Can Help If your loved one was killed in a Fort Worth drunk driving crash, E.

Fort Worth police arrested a suspected drunk driver after a fatal crash that left one person dead and another injured, according to reports. Authorities allege the driver was intoxicated at the time of the collision and now faces serious criminal charges. Emergency crews responded to the scene, where one victim was pronounced dead and another was transported for medical treatment.

In some cases, civil claims may extend beyond the impaired driver to other parties that contributed to the circumstances surrounding the crash.
