Dallas Car Accident Claims the Life of One

Posted on May 22, 2011

A Dallas car accident involving a single vehicle claimed the life of a man who was reportedly using his cell phone shortly before he lost control of his sport utility vehicle (SUV). The incident took place at approximately 2:30 on Friday morning, May 13, 2011, along Highway 67.

According to reports, the driver of a SUV lost control of his vehicle while exiting Highway 67 in an attempt to go eastbound on I-20. The SUV slammed into a tree and flipped over. The force of the impact ejected the driver from the SUV and left him face-down in a puddle of water

The driver has been identified as Gerald Williams of Cedar Hill. Rescue crews transported Mr. Williams to a local hospital where he later passed away from injuries sustained in the accident.

An unidentified passenger riding in the SUV was also taken to the hospital where he was treated for injuries and later released.

The two men reportedly had just left a local bar when the incident occurred. Investigators believe that Mr. Williams may have been on the phone when he lost control of the SUV.

The fatal Dallas car accident is still under investigation by local authorities. Police believe that alcohol may have also played a role in the accident.
