23-year-old Omar Jose Alvarado is charged with two counts of Intoxication Manslaughter. Alvarado was at the hospital receiving treatment for injuries sustained during the crash.

He was released and booked into the Harris County Jail. HPD says the female victims in the case are 46-year-old Katherine Huston and 8-year-old Kacey Hutson.
