One person died and at least three others were hospitalized Sunday afternoon after a crash involving suspected street racing in South Dallas, police said.
Dallas police were called at about 7:40 p.m. to the 5000 block of Second Avenue, where officers were requested to help with crowd control, Officer Jennifer Pryor, a police spokesperson, said in a statement Monday.
Officers determined that a pickup heading south on Second Avenue was hit by a northbound vehicle that crossed into the oncoming lane while racing another vehicle, Pryor said.
The pickup’s driver, whose identity was not released in the statement, died at the location, Pryor said.
The driver of the vehicle that crossed into the opposing lane was taken to a hospital in stable condition and arrested, Pryor said. Their charges were pending, and the statement did not include their identity.
Two others were transported to a local hospital in stable condition. Another vehicle had left the scene after the crash, Pryor said.
