SUMMARY: A Rowlette police officer, Isaac Gorski, rescued a suspected drunk driver, Lynn Allen Smith, who crashed into his squad car on Interstate 30. Despite being injured in the collision, Gorski shattered the car’s window to save the unresponsive driver, dragging him to safety away from danger. The incident occurred while Gorski was helping with traffic after a related police chase in Garland, where suspect Jose Andrew Yabara fled and later drowned in Lake Ray Hubbard. Gorski, an Army veteran and recent transfer from the Dallas Police Department, was later treated and released from the hospital.

Rowlett police say an injured officer whose squad car was hit by a suspected drunk driver managed to rescue that driver from his fiery vehicle. “Instead of doing a self-evaluation of his injuries, he doesn’t think twice; his law enforcement instinct kicks in.”

Delmonico’s owner argues that the name reflects a historical culinary tradition that cannot be easily changed.
