A man died early Sunday in a single-vehicle crash in unincorporated Dallas County after he lost control of his car while he was trying to pass another vehicle, officials say.
Investigators think the victim was 21-year-old Alexander Molina but say the medical examiner will confirm the identification.
Dallas County sheriff’s deputies responded to the accident about 1:15 a.m. at Vinson Road and Twin Creek Drive in unincorporated Dallas County. Deputies found a black 1997 Honda Civic with heavy damage to its front left and back right sides.
Witnesses and Wylie Fire Rescue personnel extracted the victim from the car and performed CPR but could not revive him. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Witnesses told deputies the Honda was traveling fast when it passed them, went out of control and crashed.
Investigators said they suspect the Honda was speeding in a no-passing zone leading up to a curve.
