State trooper attempts to stop wrong-way driver before car accident near Dallas
Troopers were warned of a wrong-way driver on the Dallas North Tollway before an accident occurred which injured four, says the Texas Department of Public Safety. Ryan Matthew, 27, was speeding and driving south in the northbound lanes all the way from Frisco to Dallas, say authorities.
The accident took place on Sunday, June 21st near the Frankford Road exit. Matthew was driving the wrong way on the tollway for nearly seven minutes and ten miles.
Several callers alerted the authorities to Matthew’s out-of-control driving. DPS, however, says they were unable to stop Matthew, even after positioning a police vehicle in front of him. Matthew, says Lonny Haschel with DPS, simply swerved around the trooper’s vehicle and continued driving.
Eventually Matthew crashed into a vehicle, injuring the two 23-year-old women inside. Both women were taken to Parkland Memorial Hospital for treatment. Matthew has not yet been charged with any crime.
