1 Killed when Car Crashes into Dallas Party
Halloween is a holiday that is often riddled with tricks, treats and surprises. However, one Texas family could not have expected that their Halloween party would be literally crashed by a car accident that injured several of them and killed one. It seems senseless that something as festive as a family party should turn into such a tragedy.
A family was enjoying their party when a white Camaro came crashing into the party. Investigators stated that the driver was going fast enough to clear an embankment and make it some distance across the backyard. The car damaged several pieces of equipment and killed a woman at the scene.
There were other people that were injured at the party. However, no life-threatening injuries have been reported at this time. One of the injured includes a four-year-old little girl. It is unclear if the driver of the vehicle sustained any injuries.
The driver of the vehicle fled the scene after the accident. Police do have leads as to who the driver was. The son of the vehicle’s owner stated that he lent the car to a friend. The police are still getting information from other family members regarding this friend. Investigators believe that alcohol did play a part in the accident.
