DWI Accident Claims Life of 16-Year-Old Boy
A 16-year-old male student who attended Trinity Garza Early High School at Mountain View, was killed in a car accident when an intoxicated 22-year-old male, lost control of his SUV while heading westbound and crossed over the center line striking the teen’s vehicle.
The accident occurred on October 25, 2022, just before midnight in the 2800 block of Illinois Avenue near South Westmoreland Road in Oak Cliff.
First responders took the teen and the driver to area hospitals, where the teen was pronounced dead. At the time of the accident, the intoxicated driver was heading westbound while the teen was heading eastbound.
At last report, the intoxicated driver was still in the hospital with serious injuries, but police plan to charge him with intoxicated manslaughter.
