Dallas, TX – Two Killed in Car Crash on Webb Chapel Rd

Dallas, TX (January 19, 2021) – Two people have lost their lives following a motor vehicle accident in the Dallas area on Sunday morning. On January 17, the Dallas Police Department and EMS responded to the scene of a crash on Webb Chapel Road.

Reports from authorities show that a car occupied by a 49-year-old male and a 77-year-old female was traveling north on Webb Chapel Road when the vehicle collided with an eastbound vehicle at the Lyndon B Johnson Freeway service road after the eastbound driver ran a red light at the intersection.

The impact of the crash caused the first vehicle to crash into a retaining wall. Both the man and woman inside the vehicle were pronounced deceased at the scene. One person in the second vehicle was transported to Parkland Hospital for the treatment of injuries. At this time, the crash remains under investigation.

Our thoughts are with the injured victim at this time. We hope for their full recovery.

We would like to offer our condolences to the families of the deceased victims at this time.

Fatal Car Accidents in Texas

Car accidents often have an overwhelming impact on those involved. This is especially true in cases where victims sustain injuries. Each year, more than 17,500 people sustain serious injuries in accidents that require extensive medical treatment and hospitalization. Although we want to believe that everyone recovers from their injuries, this is far from the truth. In fact, thousands of people end up passing away due to injuries sustained in car accidents throughout our state each year.

The unfortunate truth is that more than 10 people lose their lives in motor vehicle accidents here in Texas every day. These incidents add up to more than 3,600 lives lost annually as a result of traffic-related incidents. Many victims suffer fatal injuries in collisions as a result of the negligent or reckless actions of others. Although we can take proactive measures to ensure the lives of those around us are safe from our actions, we cannot prevent others from engaging in negligent actions while driving.
