Around 6:35PM last night (Sunday evening), Grand Prairie police and fire/EMS crews responded to the northbound frontage road of SH 161 and Dalworth Street for a person struck by a vehicle.

A female had disregarded a pedestrian control signal and was walking west in the crosswalk while traffic on the northbound frontage road had a green light.

A vehicle traveling northbound on the frontage road struck the pedestrian as she ran across the road, attempting to outrun multiple vehicles.

The driver of the vehicle and other witnesses stopped and performed CPR on the woman. She was pronounced deceased at the scene by EMS crews.

No charges will be filed against the driver of the vehicle, according to Grand Prairie PD.

A long pursuit involving multiple agencies during the overnight hours eventually led to one person in custody.

The pursuit, which lasted over an hour, traveled on I30, 635, I35E, PGBT, 75, SRT, and others across Dallas and Collin counties. The pursuit began around 1AM in the Highland Park area and eventually ended in Frisco.

In the early portion of the chase, Highland Park PD, Dallas Sheriffs along with DPD Air-1 were following the vehicle along I30. The vehicle was reportedly hauling another vehicle on a U-Haul trailer.

Garland PD, Farmers Branch PD, DPS-101 helicopter, DPS troopers, and many other agencies assisted while the pursuit traveled through much of Dallas County and into Collin.

The pursuit came to an end in south Frisco near the intersection of Hillcrest Road and Lebanon Road.

Last Friday night, Hurst police and fire departments responded to a major accident along westbound Airport Freeway (183) just before NE Loop 820 just after 10PM.

Officers arrive to find the sole occupant alive, but unconscious in the vehicle. The vehicle had reportedly struck a pole.

“Hurst medics immediately began treatment and transported the driver to a local hospital, where she was pronounced deceased a short time later,” says Hurst police.

Evidence at the scene indicates only one vehicle was involved in the crash. It is unclear at this time whether the driver’s death was brought on by the accident or underlying medical problems. The Medical Examiner’s Office is working to identify the cause of death.
