The crash occurred about 1:40 p.m. in the 300 block of E. Jefferson Street when a Dodge car struck a turning Ford SUV, according to Grand Prairie Police Department spokesman Mark Beseda.
The Ford’s driver, who wasn’t publicly identified, was transported to the hospital, where he later died. The 18-year-old driving the Dodge was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Investigators used surveillance video from nearby businesses to determine the Dodge’s driver was allegedly speeding prior to the crash, Beseda said. He was placed in police custody and faces a charge of manslaugher.
As of Monday evening, the 18-year-old hadn’t been booked into jail because he was still receiving medical treatment, Beseda said.
The investigation into the collision is ongoing.
