The family of a woman who died in a car accident is suing the Waco, Texas, restaurant and bar where the deceased allegedly became intoxicated before the collision.
The deceased was 24-year-old Krystal Flores, a wife and mother of three. Her husband, Jose Flores, and her mother, Brenda Telles, are suing Austin’s On The Avenue, claiming the establishment holds some legal responsibility for Krystal’s accident and resulting death.
The events in question took place on February 15th. Some time after leaving the restaurant, Flores was in a collision with a pickup truck being driven by a man who was attempting to flee from the police.
However, the pickup driver, 22-year-old Oscar Martinez Banda Jr., was not charged in Flores’ death because police determined that Flores ran a red light.
According to the lawsuit, which was filed on Wednesday, Flores was served alcohol by Austin employees “after she was obviously intoxicated.” The suit further alleges that the employees “encouraged her to drive her own vehicle home.”
The lawsuit accuses Austin’s of negligence for failing to monitor the alcohol consumption of its patrons, for continuing to serve intoxicated customers, for allowing intoxicated customers to drive home and for failing to properly train and supervise its employees.
Co-owner of the restaurant Austin Brock declined comment, and said only that he was not aware the suit had been filed and is unfamiliar with the allegations made in it.
