Houston drunk driver charged in death of scooter operator
A 20-year-old Houston man is charged with intoxication manslaughter after he struck a father who was riding in a motorized scooter with his 1-year-old son in his lap. Police don't think that the driver was speeding, but the force of the crash was enough to throw the scooter operator and his son more than 20 feet. It illustrates the extra caution that drivers must take when they are around pedestrians, scooters, bicycles or motorcycles.
