Street Racing Sends Car into Oncoming Traffic, Killing Driver in Dallas
A street racing crash in Dallas on Sunday night turned deadly when a speeding car lost control and slammed into a pickup truck, killing the driver. The incident occurred near the 5000 block of 2nd Avenue just before 8 p.m.
Dallas police responded to the scene, where they found a sedan with three people trapped inside and an overturned pickup truck. The truck driver died at the scene, while the woman driving the sedan and her two passengers were seriously injured but are expected to recover.
Witnesses told officers that the woman was racing another car at a high rate of speed when she lost control and crossed into oncoming traffic. The sedan struck the pickup truck head-on as it traveled southbound on 2nd Avenue, causing the truck to veer off the road and roll over. The impact was so severe that the sedan’s engine was ejected from the vehicle.
The driver of the sedan is facing a charge of racing causing death. Authorities have not released the names of the driver or any of the victims, and it’s still unclear who the woman was racing or what caused her to lose control.
