Texas Injury Law Blog : Dallas Accident Lawyer & Attorney : Fears Nachawati Law Firm : Personal Injury, Wrongful Death : Ft. Worth, San Antonio, Austin, Houston, Texas

After causing a four-car accident, a man driving alone in a Houston, Texas, HOV lane with a well-dressed mannequin got caught trying to circumvent the law.

Traffic in Houston can get bad, which tempted the driver of a pickup truck, 54-year-old Michael Hooper, into dressing up a male mannequin in a Ralph Lauren shirt, even going so far as to a put a pen in the mannequin’s front pocket. Hooper was clever in making the mannequin look as real as possible – he reinforced its neck so that it wouldn’t slump over in the seat.

At around 7:00 am in the inbound 290 HOV lane near Fairbanks, Hooper rear-ended the car in front of him, which resulted in a chain reaction of car accidents. Two people were trapped inside the first car Hooper struck and had to be cut out of the vehicle. No one was seriously injured.

The driver of the pickup truck was given a $175 citation for violating the HOV laws by riding solo. Police say they catch people driving in the HOV with mannequins about once a month. The most common ploy is putting a baby doll in a car seat.
