SUV Crashes into Dallas House; Leaves One Dead
A family in Dallas has a tree to thank for keeping them safe from a drunk driver. Around 2:30 am on Sunday morning, a speeding car on the 12400 block of Jupiter Road in Dallas ran a red light and lost control. The vehicle crashed through a fence then slid off a tree before hitting the garage of the house.
One of the three men in the car accident, 19-year-old Humberto Najera of Dallas, was killed and another man fled the scene of the wreck on foot before being caught up with by authorities. According to him, the three men had been drinking before the accident.
The homeowners said they were grateful the tree deflected the car into their garage, rather than in the master bedroom where their mother was sleeping. Thankfully, nobody inside the home was hurt.
It seems like these days there’s not much you can do to protect yourself from drunk drivers. Even if you’re at home, some drunk person can crash their car into your house! It’s terrible to see a life end so young because of the dumb decision to drink and drive. Unfortunately, his friends have learned in the worst way that our actions have consequences.
