A fatal two-car collision in Dallas on Monday afternoon left two people dead and another injured, highlighting the devastating consequences of high-speed driving. The crash occurred at the intersection of Abrams Road and Royal Lane when a McLaren luxury sports car collided with another vehicle before slamming into a tree.
The Dallas County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the victims as Cristobal Flores Espino, 29, the driver of the McLaren, and his passenger, Robert Rocha, 31. Both men were pronounced dead at the scene despite the prompt arrival of emergency responders.
