DALLAS — Six children were hospitalized on Saturday night after a crash with a suspected drunk driver, Dallas police said. Two of the children were seriously injured.
Around 10:00 p.m., a woman driving a 2016 GMC Acadia was traveling in the 4200 block of Rugged Dr. with seven passengers. A 26-year-old female was in the front passenger seat and a 17-year-old male and 4-month-old female were in the middle row, the report states. In the third row was a 6-year-old male, a 3-year-old male, a 5-year-old male and a 4-year-old male.
The Acadia was making a left turn onto W. Ledbetter Rd. from Rugged Dr. when it was hit by a black 2018 Chevy Malibu traveling west on W. Ledbetter Dr. at a high rate of speed, police said.
The 4-year-old male child was not in a child safety seat and was ejected from the vehicle, Dallas police said. The 5-year-old male child was also seriously injured. Dallas PD said both were taken to a hospital by Dallas Fire Rescue. The 4-year-old child is in critical condition.
