Fort Worth Wreck Kills 2
According to the Fort Worth Star Telegram, two women were killed early Saturday when a GMC truck that was fleeing a hit-and-run slammed into three other vehicles along a South Freeway service road, police said.
The accident killed the driver of a Cadillac, Cynthia Revilla, 24, and her passenger, Danielle Hooten, 18, both of Fort Worth. Both were pronounced dead at the scene. Hooten's 20-month-old child was ejected from the Cadillac but was in stable condition at Cook Children's hospital, police said.
Alisia Padilla, 38, was arrested on two counts of intoxication manslaughter and one count of intoxication assault. In 2004, Padilla received a probated sentence for possession of a controlled substance, according to Tarrant County court records.
A mandatory blood draw was performed, but Padilla's blood-alcohol level will not be available for several days, said Lt. Paul Henderson, a Fort Worth police spokesman. Padilla's husband, who was a passenger in the truck, was listed in serious condition at John Peter Smith Hospital, police said.
The chain of events that led to the fatalities began at 12:11 a.m. when Padilla's truck struck a car in the parking lot of a bar in south Fort Worth, police said. The driver of the car began following Padilla's truck northbound toward Seminary Drive.
At the intersection, the truck hit a Dodge Neon, ran a red light and struck two more vehicles -- Revilla's Cadillac and a Ford Explorer, police said. A father and son in the Explorer were taken to John Peter Smith Hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening, police said. The driver of the Neon was not injured.
