Arlington Texas Family Struggles to Cope After Drunken Driving Crash

An Arlington, Texas boy aged 2, who was critically injured in a drunken driving crash last week remained on life support as his parents coped with his devastating prognosis.

Eighty percent of Abdallah Khader’s brain was destroyed in the crash, according to his doctor, Jeff McGlothlin. If Abdallah survives, he will be severely disabled for the rest of his life.


The family were on their way home from a family gathering when Stewart Richardson, 44, of Davenport, Iowa, slammed his pickup into the family’s Honda Accord as they waited at a red light in Arlington.

Arlington police officers arrested Richardson, a man they say has a history of DWI arrests. Richardson was being held at the Tarrant County jail in lieu of $75,000 bail on a charge of intoxication assault. Charges could be upgraded if Abdallah’s condition changes.

Abdallah’s parents on Tuesday filed a lawsuit against Richardson in Tarrant County district court alleging negligence and gross negligence, but Nachawati said Richardson has little, if any, assets.
