🚨 MAKE A PLAN. 🚨
At approximately 11:35 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 30, Edinburg Police and Fire departments responded to a major single-vehicle collision at the Hidalgo County Courthouse.
A preliminary investigation indicates that a BMW traveling southbound on Closner failed to stop and crashed directly into the front entrance of the courthouse, causing extensive structural damage to the building.
Investigators suspect alcohol was a contributing factor. This investigation remains active.
Driving impaired is a choice that carries life-altering consequences. Before you take your first sip, decide how you're getting home safely.
🚗 Designate a sober driver before heading out
📱 Book a rideshare (Uber, Lyft) or call a taxi
📞 Call a friend or family member for a safe lift
🛌 Stay put if you do not have a guaranteed safe ride home
One decision can save a life—including your own. Never get behind the wheel under the influence.
