College Station Accidents May Have Involved Alcohol
Police are investigating beliefs that alcohol played a role in two accidents that occurred Saturday in College Station.
Karl Kelly Odom, 21, and Moises Gutierrez Toxqui, 25, both College Station residents, were arrested in the separate incidents.
Karl Odom ran a stop light at the intersection of Rock Prairie Road and the Earl Rudder Freeway feeder road at about 1 a.m. He was pulled over and is now being charged with driving while intoxicated.
He hit Ford Focus whose driver was trying to make a left-hand turn at the intersection.
According to eyewitnesses, Odom's car had many bottles of Bud Light in the back seat. According to a breath test taken at the jail, his blood alcohol level was .11. The legal limit is .08.
The next day, Moises Toxqui was arrested and charged with abandoning or endangering a child when he was involved in a head-on collision with another vehicle along Southwood Drive.
According to witnesses, Toxqui and his 1998 Hyundai Elantra was on the wrong side of the street when he ran into an Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme.
Police found him on foot fleeing with his 3-year-old son, said police.
He complained of pain and was taken to the College Station Medical Center.
He is charged with endangering a child because of three offenses: he was drinking and driving, driving on the wrong side of the road and he didn't have a child seat, which is required by law.
