[Bluebear]

What are we going to have to do, require breath-o-lyzers on EVERY car in order to make them run? What a shame...


Barton


A mother and daughter were killed after a drunken driver slammed into their car around 2 a.m. Saturday in Lewisville. The victim's husband and two other children were transported to area hospitals.

According to Lewisville police, John Barton, 29, switched lanes at a high rate of speed and hit 30-year-old Kandice Hull's car. Hull and her daughter Autumn, 13, were killed after Barton rear-ended their Nissan Sentra, flinging it 600 feet down Interstate 35E near Highway 121.

Hull's husband Tony and their two other children were transported to area hospitals. Tony Hull is in serious condition. Authorities have not released the children's condition.

This is third time Barton has been arrested for drunken driving. The original charges for intoxication manslaughter and intoxication assault have been upgraded to murder because of his record. He is currently booked at the Denton County Jail.

Barton and a passenger in his vehicle were not injured.
