A driver is dead after losing control and flipping their car along North Walton Walker Boulevard. Much of the crash was caught on surveillance at a nearby auto shop.<\/p>\n
Dallas Police told NBC 5 the call came in around 11:57 p.m. on Thursday night. Officers arrived to find a car flipped over on its top near the intersection of North Walton Walker Boulevard and Singleton Road. <\/p>\n
Vengely Rodriguez arrived at his glass auto shop to an active scene.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe came at 8:00 a.m. when we opened and we happened to see that our car is completely totaled and crashed,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Surveillance cameras captured the moments a driver careened off the road, hit a parked vehicle, and began flipping before landing upside down. Police tape was still on scene hours later in front of the auto glass shop.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe see a family crying over the vehicle that our car is positioned at and obviously we rushed to see what was going on,\u201d Rodriguez said. \u201cThere was a bunch of damage and glass everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n
Police later said a single white sedan, travelling southbound on North Walton Walker at Singleton Boulevard, veered off the main roadway, drove across a shoulder and grass median, and collided with an unoccupied parked vehicle. The driver of the white sedan was ejected and died.<\/p>\n
Rodriguez said he was relieved the shop was closed at the time of the crash.<\/p>\n
\u201cCould\u2019ve injured somebody in our workplace or even on the street. It could have been way worse,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Still, Rodriguez said the images captured on surveillance and on scene will stick with him.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s something you would never wish upon anyone. It was a little traumatic. But thanks to God nothing happened to us and nobody else was injured in the situation. But our prayers go to that family.\u201d He said.<\/p>\n
Police have not released the name of the victim in the crash. The cause of the crash is under investigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A driver is dead after losing control and flipping their car along North Walton Walker Boulevard.
