This accident occoured on the beach on July 5, 2004 at 2:45am The driver of this vehicle was traveling eastbound on the beach
approximately 4 miles east of Crystal Beach in Caplen, Texas
This is what remains of a GMC Yukon after hitting a steel pole
on the beach going around 60mph.
The driver and passenger had to be freed from the vehicle using
Jaws and were both air lifted from the beach to UTMB in Galveston
Texas. The two are expected to be ok. The pipe they hit was an
old oil well and is approx. 14" at the smallest diameter
and stands almost 6 ft tall. The pole did not move.
The old well has been in the same place for more than 20 years
and no one has ever hit it. Later that day I put reflective tape
on the pole. Regardless, Drinking and driving too fast on the
beach caused this accident!
Please people, Be Careful! and DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE!
