The passenger of the Camaro, a 21 year old Baytown man, was not seriously injured and is cooperating with the police investigation. Baytown Police Department Accident Reconstruction Unit and the Harris County District Attorney’s Office Vehicular Assault Team are currently investigating to determine the cause of the accident. A warrant was issued to obtain a blood sample from Mr. Tadeo to determine if he was intoxicated at the time of the accident. Mr. Tadeo was later transported to the Baytown Municipal Jail where charges of Felony Failure to Stop and Render Aid and Driving While Intoxicated are pending. Investigators are asking anyone who may have witnessed the accident to please come forward and contact the Baytown Police Department.
