DALLAS — A vehicle crossed into oncoming traffic on a Dallas freeway and collided with two other vehicles in a crash that killed four people, police said.
The multi-vehicle crash happened around 1 p.m. Saturday on Interstate 45 in southeast Dallas, police spokesman Michael Dennis said in a statement.
A preliminary investigation determined that a vehicle was northbound on I-45 when it struck a second vehicle and then crossed the median into southbound traffic, where it struck two more vehicles.
Dennis said three people in the northbound vehicle died at the scene, and a fourth person in one of the southbound vehicles died at a hospital. Two other people were hospitalized in unknown condition, Dennis said.
The cause of the accident remains under investigation, and the names of those killed and injured were not immediately released.
