They later found that the driver of a black, four-door Kia Forte had driven down the embankment on FM 2818 (Harvey Mitchell Parkway) and struck the opposite side, causing the vehicle to become damaged and disabled.

Passing motorists stopped to assist the driver because smoke was emanating from the vehicle.

Bethea was arrested and charged with Driving While Intoxicated with two prior convictions, making the 3rd charge a third degree felony.
