A fatal pedestrian collision involving a suspected drunk driver caused the death of a 40-year-old man on Texoma Parkway, Thursday evening.
The fatality was identified as Kyle Deriso, 40. Deriso was an employee at Taco Casa, and had gone back to work to pick up something he forgot.
According to the report released by local officials, the accident took place at around 10:30 p.m., May 16. Deriso was attempting to cross Texoma Parkway when he was struck by an undescribed vehicle. The impact of the collision rendered Deriso lifeless.
The driver was arrested by local police on suspicion of intoxication. She was later identified as 38-year-old Melissa Thompson. She was released from jail after posting $30,000 bond.
An investigation is underway.
Our prayers and thoughts are with the family of the deceased victim.
According to the National Highway Traffic Administration (NHTSA), car accidents happen almost every minute of every day, and for every 16 minutes, a car accident occurs that results in death. That is roughly about 6 million car accidents every year and 90 people dying in car accidents every day in the U.S. alone. Driving while distracted, under the influence of alcohol, and at an unsafe speed are three most common causes of car accidents.
If you are a victim of a DUI accident, or you know someone who is, or you lost a loved one because of this, then please don’t hesitate to ask for help. The police will always be there to help you, but more than that, car accident lawyers are always willing to help you in protecting your rights and getting you the justice that you deserve.
