Tragic Wrong-Way Crash on Dallas North Tollway Claims Life of Young Woman
DALLAS – Authorities have revealed new details about a devastating wrong-way crash on the Dallas North Tollway earlier this week, resulting in the death of 28-year-old Trania Jackson from Cedar Hill and leaving six others injured.
The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) identified the wrong-way driver as a 50-year-old man from Arlington, who remains hospitalized with critical injuries. The collision occurred around 1:30 a.m. on Monday near Royal Lane, when the wrong-way driver traveled northbound in the southbound lanes. His vehicle sideswiped an 18-wheeler before colliding head-on with Jackson’s Nissan Altima. Several passengers in Jackson’s vehicle, all women in their 20s and 30s from Cedar Hill, DeSoto, Alabama, and Indiana, sustained serious and incapacitating injuries.
The driver of the 18-wheeler, a 30-year-old male from Dallas, was not injured in the incident. Preliminary investigations suggest that alcohol may have played a role in the crash, although it remains uncertain whether the wrong-way driver will face any legal charges.
As of now, authorities have not provided updates regarding the condition of the surviving victims. The DPS continues to investigate the incident in hopes of uncovering more details surrounding this tragic event.
This incident serves as a harrowing reminder of the dangers of impaired driving and the consequences that can arise from such behavior. The community mourns the loss of Jackson, whose life was tragically cut short, and eagerly awaits further information from the authorities.
