Sherman, TX (May 13, 2026) – One person was injured following a two-vehicle crash on Tuesday evening at the intersection of Houston Street and Grand Avenue in Sherman.
Emergency units responded around 6:45 p.m. to reports of a collision at an intersection that later resulted in injuries. Authorities said a vehicle struck another car in the intersection before also hitting a utility pole.
One occupant from the second vehicle was injured in the crash and was taken to a local hospital in stable condition for treatment.
Police arrested the driver of the first vehicle, identified as a 21-year-old man, after investigators determined he was allegedly intoxicated at the time of the collision. He was booked into the Grayson County Jail on a charge of intoxication assault with a vehicle.
Traffic in the area was temporarily affected while emergency crews assisted those involved and cleared the damaged vehicles.
Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash, and more details may be released as they become available. We are thinking of the injured person as they recover.
How Suspected DUI Crashes at Intersections Are Investigated
Crashes involving suspected impaired driving are typically reviewed closely by investigators due to the potential impact of alcohol or drugs on reaction time and decision-making. Field observations, vehicle movement patterns, and physical evidence at the scene can all contribute to the investigation.
Intersections are common locations for these types of crashes because drivers may misjudge speed, fail to yield, or lose control while navigating cross traffic. Impact with fixed objects like utility poles can also help reconstruct vehicle direction and force.
Medical evaluations of injured individuals are often used alongside roadway evidence to document the severity of the crash. Investigators may later combine these findings with witness statements and other data to determine the sequence of events.
