What Happened

Texas Department of Public Safety officials are investigating a crash that killed a woman at I-20 in Mesquite, TX on November 7th, 2021. Police say the incident happened around 2:35 a.m. A Chevrolet Silverado operated by 18-year-old Juan Sanchez was reportedly headed eastbound on I-20 when it veered from the road into a center median. Investigators say the vehicle attempted to correct back to the right before it began rotating. This is said to have sent the vehicle into a roll that ejected a 19-year-old female front seat passenger as well as Sanchez. The 19-year-old woman suffered fatal injuries while Sanchez reportedly suffered serious injuries. Investigators allege that Sanchez had been drinking alcohol prior to the collision and believe it played a factor in the collision.
