DALLAS: BMW SOUGHT IN HIT-AND-RUN
(DALLAS, January 14) -- Two people have now died in what Dallas-area police say was a hit-and-run accident on Interstate 35-E in northwest Dallas. Two others were injured in the incident early today. Police are looking for a battered silver BMW. The deadly sequence that unfolded on Stemmons Freeway northbound between Walnut Hill and Royal lanes unfolded after a car clipped an 18-wheeler and had caught fire. Another motorist stopped to join a passenger from the burning car in helping the driver escape the flames. Police say the BMW then came speeding through the scene at an estimated 110 miles per hour. Officers say the driver tried to swerve between the disabled vehicles and hit three people. The two who were trying to help the driver escape were hit and injured fatally. A bystander suffered a broken leg. The driver will be okay.
Deceased are one black, one white. He should be charged with murder since he left the scene. Hopefully they'll ammend the charges.
