Victim - Chris Wright
SULPHUR SPRINGS, Texas -- Police said a man was dragged several feet early Wednesday in the parking lot of a Sulphur Springs motel and bar, about 80 miles east of Dallas.
Two men in a bar were involved in an argument at about 12:30 a.m. and one man was asked to leave, officials said. He entered a pickup truck, District Attorney Martin Braddy said.
The other man, Chris Wright, 26, who was picking up his girlfriend from work at the bar, stuck his head in the window of the pickup truck or was grabbed, Braddy said. As he was exchanging words with the driver, the driver sped off, dragging Wright up to 25 feet, police said.
The driver was not taken into custody and agreed to talk to police at 3 p.m. but did not show up. An arrest warrant may be issued later, police said.
Wright is at East Texas Medical Center in Tyler.
He suffered injuries to his face as well as internal injuries, Braddy said. His condition is not yet known, but he is expected to survive.
Wright's father said that his son's face looked like someone had shot him with a 12-gauge shotgun.
A witness said the argument at the bar included racial slurs. Race could have been a motivation in the altercation, Braddy said.
