A Dallas car accident involving a wrong-way driver claims the lives of two people and injures two others. The collision occurred in the northbound lanes of Interstate 45 near the intersection of Loop 12, at approximately 2:30 AM on Friday morning, February 25, 2011.

According to Dallas County Sheriff’s Department investigators, a red Ford pickup truck was traveling south in the northbound lanes of Interstate 45 when the driver slammed into a northbound Nissan pickup truck. The driver of the Ford pickup truck has been identified as Joseph Macias.

Luis Alvarado, 35, of Denton, was driving the Nissan when the accident occurred. Unfortunately, he was killed on impact. One of Mr. Alvarado’s passengers, Jose Aguiluz-Coreas, 35, of New Jersey, was taken to Parkland Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead a short time later.

Mr. Macias, along with a third passenger in the Nissan, were taken to the hospital where they were treated for injuries sustained in the accident. Their conditions were not immediately made known.
