Accused DUI Driver Arrested for Killing Victim

A man who has been accused of driving under the influence of alcohol has been charged in connection with a crash in Galveston on Saturday afternoon that took the life of a 72-year-old Humble man and seriously injured his wife.

According to authorities, at approximately 2:00 PM on Saturday, July 26th, Adrian Paul Mills made a sudden U-turn on Seawall, causing him to ram his Q50 SUV into the side of a Toyota Sienna minivan being driven by the victim, Ashley Boyd.

Ashley and Alice Boyd were traveling to a family reunion at the time of the crash. Ashley Boyd was declared dead at the scene of the accident while his wife, Alice, is still hospitalized at University of Texas Medical Branch.

Mills was also injured in the accident and was taken to the same hospital.

Galveston Police charged Mills Sunday morning with intoxication manslaughter. The alleged drunk driver was booked into the Galveston County Jail and bail has been set at $100,000.

Losing a loved one to the irresponsible actions of others is something no one should ever have to face. Picking up the pieces after such a tragedy can seem overwhelming. Medical costs, funerary expenses and just going on can be difficult.
