Candice BondTwo adults were seriously hurt in a car crash on I-35 in Austin on November 1.
The Early Morning Crash on I-35
The collision came at about 2:30 a.m. Two adults were taken to a hospital with serious injuries. Their names have not been released. The Texas Department of Transportation said the vehicle struck the guardrail on the I-35 overpass at 6th Street. It said the impact dislodged the metal and sent concrete rubble falling onto a car below.
What Comes Next After the I-35 Crash
The driver was arrested at the scene by Austin police and charged with intoxicated assault. The Texas Department of Transportation said crews made temporary repairs to the overpass within hours of the crash. The agency said more extensive work is still needed.
An arrest is not a conviction. The case moves through the courts, and the full process can take many months.

Here is what people in Texas usually need, in the order it comes up.
Emergency care. Emergency rooms must check and stabilize you, even if you can't pay. The bill comes later.
Your vehicle. Tow yards usually charge for every day a towed vehicle sits there.
Crash report. The crash report is usually ready a few weeks after the crash, and you can still get it later.
Hospital bills. Most hospitals have a program that cuts bills for people with low income, and you can apply months after the first bill.
Insurance offer. You can turn down the insurer's first offer and ask for more.
