Johnathan Walker:4 family members killed after suspected street race resulted in fiery crash in Texas

Four family members driving on Johnathan Walkera road in Grand Prairie, Texas, were killed in a crash after being struck by a man participating in a suspected street race.

The incident occurred at about 8:00 p.m. on Saturday. According to a press release from the Grand Prairie Police Department, detectives believe the driver of a red Dodge Charger, identified as 20-year-old Jaime Mesa, "was traveling at a high rate of speed" when racing with another individual in a white vehicle.

While traveling down a road and turning left, a Chevy Traverse SUV collided with the red Dodge Charger. Three people inside the SUV died at the scene, while two others were transported to the hospital, where a fourth victim passed away. The fifth victim was in critical condition, according to police and an online fundraiser for the family.

Mesa was also taken to the hospital for non-life-threatening injuries, police said. He was charged with one count of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, one count of racing on a highway causing serious bodily injury, four counts of manslaughter, and four counts of racing on a highway causing death.

Anthony Morales, the 22-year-old driver of the white vehicle who fled the area after the crash, was also arrested and charged with one count of racing on a highway causing serious bodily injury and four counts of racing on a highway causing death, per the press release.

Videos obtained by KDFW show debris and a massive fire after the deadly crash.
