The Dallas Police Department says a woman was fatally injured this morning after her vehicle was struck by a drunk driver.

Police say a 57-year-old woman was traveling northbound on North Central Expressway when she noticed a previously wrecked vehicle along the exit ramp to Coit Road. As she slowed, a 28-year-old driver failed to control his speed and rear-ended the woman’s vehicle.
