Authorities investigating fiery multivehicle crash in Pleasant Grove, Dallas police say

Authorities are investigating a fiery crash that led to the death of a person Monday evening in Pleasant Grove, police said.

Shortly before 9:30 p.m., officers were dispatched to a crash at the intersection of North Prairie Creek and Lake June roads, according to police.

Investigators believe a driver, whose name has not released by authorities, was speeding while southbound on North Prairie Creek Road, where they ran a red light at the intersection and “hit” two pickup trucks, police said.

One of the trucks caught fire with the driver trapped inside, according to police. That person was later pronounced dead at the location, police said. The Dallas County Medical Examiner’s office will identify the body. The driver of the second truck had “minor injuries,” according to a Tuesday news release.

The driver who ran the red light was also injured and hospitalized, police added.

Police are still investigating the crash, the release stated. It is unclear what, if any, criminal charges authorities are considering.
