Plano, TX \u2014 October 21, 2025, Juan Quiroz was killed due to an alleged 18-wheeler hit-and-run accident at around 6:30 a.m. on the Dallas North Tollway.<\/p>\n

\"Juan<\/p>\n

According to preliminary statements by authorities, 47-year-old Juan Quiroz was in a Honda Civic going northbound along the Dallas North Tollway. Near Spring Creek Parkway, it’s believed that an 18-wheeler changed lanes and struck the Honda, causing it to hit a barrier and overturn. Following this, other vehicles crashed into the Honda. <\/p>\n

Juan Quiroz reportedly was killed due to the accident. No other injuries were reported. The 18-wheeler apparently continued driving and left the scene. Authorities have not reported finding or identifying the driver at this time. <\/p>\n

Commentary<\/p>\n

One of the best things authorities can do in these situations is release as much information to the public as possible. In my experience, hit-and-runs see a proper conclusion when the community is able to help authorities locate and identify the suspect truck. <\/p>\n

Sometimes, the truck had unique company markings. Other times, it continues to its destination, and a worker at that location may notice recent damage to the truck. This can all help point investigators in the right direction so they can figure out both how best to address the truck driver’s actions and if there were things that driver didn’t want authorities to know about, leading to them fleeing in the first place. <\/p>\n

I’m confident that with continued pressure, there will be answers for the victim’s loved ones and accountability for those responsible. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Plano, TX \u2014 October 21, 2025, Juan Quiroz was killed due to an alleged 18-wheeler hit-and-run accident at…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":18277,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[160,162,161],"class_list":{"0":"post-18276","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-plano","8":"tag-plano","9":"tag-plano-headlines","10":"tag-plano-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18276","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18276"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18276\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18277"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18276"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18276"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18276"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
