Two killed in Dallas car accident
A car accident on LBJ Freeway in Dallas, Texas, claimed the lives of two people out for a birthday celebration.
The accident took place at 4:30 a.m. on Friday morning on Interstate 635, just north of downtown Dallas near the High Five interchange.
The deceased victims are 33-year-old Hugo Perez and 26-year-old Juan Balderas. The two were in a Volkswagen Jetta that was rear-ended by an SUV while the Jetta was parked on the shoulder of the freeway.
Police believe the driver of the SUV, a Nissan Xterra, was not paying attention to the road when it struck the Jetta.
The impact of the collision smashed the Jetta into the guardrail. The Xterra rolled over at least once. The driver was not injured.
A spokesman for the Dallas police says a charge of criminal negligence is expected against the driver of the SUV.
A 5-year-old girl, a passenger in the Jetta, was critically injured in the accident. She was riding on the lap of the right rear passenger.
