Democratic donor John O'Quinn dead in a Houston car wreck
2009-10-30
Lawyer John O'Quinn, who donated $2.5 million to Chris Bell in his Democratic governor's race three years ago, has died in a Houston car accident along with another as yet unidentified man. The accident happened about 8 a.m., according to the Houston Chronicle, on the Allen Parkway. The black Suburban crossed two medians and oncoming traffic before crashing into a tree.

O'Quinn was a prominent attorney who made a name and fortune for himself as a plantiff's attorney, especially with breast implants and also as a anti-tobacco lawyer hired by the state. He was also known for his philanthropy, giving large amounts to the University of Houston and for medical care.

#1  A lot of rain has produced very slick roads in Houston the last couple of days.

He never married and has no children. U of H (his alma mater) will surely benefit mightily.
