The Northlake Police Department is investigating a high speed crash that injured the driver of a Tesla sedan.
At around 6:45pm last night, Roanoke Fire and EMS along with Northlake police officers were called to the scene at Highway 114 and Interstate 35W, not far from Texas Motor Speedway. Firefighters extricated the driver from the wreckage and he was transported to Baylor Grapevine hospital for treatment of his injuries.
