GRAND PRAIRIE — Reaction continues to pour in as the North Texas area grieves for a Garland family killed in a street-racing-related crash .
A memorial has been set up in front of the Fuel Stop gas station off S. Beltline Road in Grand Prairie.
Police say the crash happened there on Saturday when two drivers were racing one another on Beltline. Investigators say one of the drivers hit the Rosales family at a high rate of speed, causing their car to flip and catch fire.
Parents Jessie and Lorena Rosales died at the scene, along with their two children, 13-year-old Stephanie Rosales and 6-year-old Angel . A third child, 16-year-old Anthony Rosales, is still recovering in the hospital with serious injuries.
“There’s a whole family gone, there is. It’s so devastating to hear,” said Lili Trujillo Puckett, founder and executive director of the nonprofit organization Street Racing Kills.
Puckett says she lost her own 16-year-old daughter to street racing, which led her to start the nonprofit and educate young teens about the dangers of street racing and aggressive driving.
