Drunken Driver Crashes Into Girl's Apartment

By Jeff Rasansky

SMU Sophomore Chynna Stone didn't think that her safety was at risk as she sat on the couch of her University Park apartment Friday afternoon. Stone is now in critical condition at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas. The cause? A GMC Yukon sport utility vehicle crashing through her apartment wall and pinning Stone to the wall at about 3:30 p.m.

The driver, 24-year-old Brian Adams, has been charged with intoxication assault, according to the Dallas Morning News report. Adams was not injured.

We talk about motor vehicle accidents involving pedestrians - but what about the unsuspecting victim enjoying a peaceful afternoon in the comfort of her own home? It's ridiculous to think of what can happen when someone chooses to drive while intoxicated or is simply driving carelessly. If you or a loved one has experienced physical or emotional injuries or property damage as a result of someone else's carelessness and neglect, contact a personal injury attorney to discuss your legal rights.
