Twice as Hard

MADDLOGO.gifSome revelers were leaving the Robert Randolph/Black Crowes concert at the Backyard last night when an allegedly-drunk old lady driving southbound on RM620 slammed into the crowd, injuring five concert-goers. Police arrested 61 year-old Mary Dodgen of Tyler, who was reportedly speeding down the road in a sports car, and charged her with two counts of intoxication assault, according to KVUE. Two of the injured remain in critical care at Brackenridge Hospital. The Statesman reports that the other three victims remain in serious condition. Again, be careful out there this holiday, Austin.
