Dallas Car Accident Claims the Life of Frisco Man

Posted on Apr 08, 2011

A Dallas car accident involving four vehicles claims the life of a man and leaves another injured after a speeding car slams into the rear of another car. The incident took place early Saturday morning, April 2, 2011, at the intersection of Preston Road and Arapaho Road in the north Dallas area.

According to investigators, Matthew Amos, 23, of Dallas, was traveling at approximately 90 miles per hour when he slammed into the rear of a car that slowed down for a stop light at Preston Road and Arapaho Road. Rescue crews transported Mr. Amos to a local hospital where he was treated for non-life threatening injuries.

The driver of the second vehicle has been identified as Eric Porter, 40, of Frisco. Unfortunately, Mr. Porter was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident.

There were two other vehicles involved in the accident. No one else appeared to be injured.

The fatal Dallas car accident is still under investigation by local authorities. Police have indicated that Mr. Amos will likely be charged with intoxicated manslaughter.

This is a terrible tragedy and we would like to extend our thoughts and condolences to Mr. Porter's family and friends during this difficult time.
