A day after disaster, evidence of attempts to save a life marked the site of a fatal crash on North Collett Avenue near the intersection of Swiss Avenue in Dallas. <\/p>\n
Thursday, Dallas Police arrested 25-year-old Tyrell Jones, charging him with murder and robbery after they say he collided with and killed a pedestrian on North Collett Avenue near Swiss while fleeing a carjacking. <\/p>\n
It all started a few blocks away. <\/p>\n
Surveillance video shows Jones running through the street around 5:20 p-m. <\/p>\n
He stumbles, lying out in the middle of the road. <\/p>\n
About a minute later, a driver in a purple Kia Sorrento slows to ask if he\u2019s ok. <\/p>\n
Jones is seen jumping onto her car and then falling off. <\/p>\n
Seconds later, neighbors at the intersection of Reiger and Colett say they heard a horn honking and a woman screaming. <\/p>\n
According to an affidavit, Jones struggled with the driver. <\/p>\n
She eventually got out, fearing for her life, and he sped off. <\/p>\n
Witnesses said he bounced from curb to curb as he drove away. <\/p>\n
As neighbors called 911, the affidavit said Jones was driving in the wrong lane of traffic. <\/p>\n
He collided head-on with a driver stopped at a stop sign. <\/p>\n
The impact pushed both the Kia and Toyota back about 100 feet and onto a sidewalk, pinning Jose Avila to a tree. <\/p>\n
Despite attempts to save him, Avila died at a nearby hospital. <\/p>\n
Friday night, Jones remained behind bars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A day after disaster, evidence of attempts to save a life marked the site of a fatal crash…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":255379,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[102,104,103],"class_list":{"0":"post-255378","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-dallas","8":"tag-dallas","9":"tag-dallas-headlines","10":"tag-dallas-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255378","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=255378"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255378\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/255379"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=255378"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=255378"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=255378"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
