34-year-old Leodegario Hernandez Juarez was driving while intoxicated Monday night, causing a "violent" three car accident that killed two people in Texas. The Dallas County Medical Examiner's office identified the dead as 49-year-old James Carr and 43-year-old Lashun Russell, both of Dallas. Survivors of the crash, including an 8-year-old girl, were taken to various hospitals to be treated for serious injuries.
Juarex, driving a Ford F-150, ran a red light and crashed into two other cars. The impact caused one of the cars to wrap around a metal utility pole.
"I saw the truck just run the light, and I saw when it hit the car," said witness Ismail Tores.
Police said witnesses tackled and detained Juarez, who attempted to run from the scene after the crash. Jail records indicate he was in the United States illegally.
Juarez was arrested at the scene on two counts of intoxication manslaughter and one count of intoxication assault.
