Police identify drunk driver who caused three accidents and led police on chase

Police have identified the man responsible for causing a major accident in Weatherford, Texas, on Tuesday, May 26th. The man is 28-year-old Joshua Alvey, who was drunk driving at the time he was involved in three separate accidents.

On Tuesday afternoon, Weatherford police officers responded to calls about a drunk driver on South Lamar Street. As the police were dispatched, more calls came in reporting two hit-and-run accidents involving the same drunk driver. Police later learned the individual was Alvey.

Police spotted the suspect vehicle and attempted to stop the driver. Alvey refused to stop, instead leading police on a winding chase to Hudson Oaks and back into Weatherford. During the pursuit, Alvey struck a Honda Accord, pushing both vehicles into the intersection of Palo Pinto Street and South Bowie Drive where a third car was struck.

The driver of the Honda was a 49-year-old father who was riding with his 8-year-old son. Both father and son suffered critical injuries in the crash and were taken to two different hospitals. The 40-year-old woman driving the third vehicle suffered non-life threatening injuries.

Alvey was transported to a Fort Worth hospital for non-life threatening injuries. Once treated, he was released into the custody of the Weatherford Police Department.  No injuries were reported in either hit-and-run accident.
