Three teens killed, three more injured in one-vehicle car accident
Three teenagers were killed and another three were injured in a one-vehicle car accident that took place shortly before midnight on New Year’s day.
The accident occurred when the car struck a traffic barrier in the 1800 block of North Loop 288 in Denton, Texas.
Right before the accident occurred, a state trooper clocked the car traveling at 78 mph in a 60-mph zone. The trooper was preparing to stop the car when it crashed into the traffic barrier head-on.
Toxicology tests are being performed. However, Captain Lenn Carter of the Denton police department says there is no signs that drugs or alcohol were involved. According to Carter, no determination has been made on whether charges will be filed.
This accident marks the second fatal collision on North Loop 288 in the past 30 days. Two 21-year-old men were killed in an early-morning car accident on December 6th.
