Updated accident reports are coming out of Texas regarding a fatal accident that claimed the life of Gizelle Solorio last year.

The off-duty police officer who was killed in a wrong-way crash last December had a blood alcohol content of .16 percent. This is twice the legal limit.

This information was released this week in a toxicology report that was conducted by the Travis County Medical Examiner’s Office. It took several months for the report to be completed.

The car crash took place in Sealy around 6:25 a.m.

Troopers with the Texas Department of Public Safety said the officer was going the wrong way in the westbound lanes of I-10 and she crashed into a tractor-trailer.

Solorio died at the scene of the crash while the other driver did not suffer any injuries.

The toxicology report showed that Solorio had the antidepressant Citalopram in her system. A pharmacist said this drug should not be mixed with alcohol.

Investigators said Solorio’s intoxication was a contributing factor in the crash, according to accident reports.

Meanwhile, Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo issued a statement following the news. He said Solorio showed lots of promise over the years and the department was saddened by the results of the investigation.

He noted that while a single decision doesn’t define a person, “decisions do have consequences”. He said HPD takes drunk driving seriously, and the entire department was reminded about the importance of practicing what they preach.

Furthermore, he said HPD was offering increased psychological services, chaplain program and psychological services to better meet the needs of the workforce.
