A Texas family was struck with grief Wednesday when a tragic accident took the life of one of its members. An alleged drunk driver apparently caused the accident.

Accidents like this one seem to be on the rise at the Texas intersection, and some say the dangerously high speed limit and lack of a traffic light are the problems.
