DALLAS — A speeding car struck a tree along a Dallas roadway, killing all six people inside, police said Monday.
Officer Monica Cordova said the crash occurred Sunday night in a residential area in southeast Dallas. The victims were two teenage boys, two men, and two women ranging in age from 15 to 23.
Cordova said the 20-year-old driver lost control as the road curved when the back passenger-side tire of the Chevrolet Impala hit a curb. The vehicle slid across three lanes before hitting a tree in the median.
Investigators say four people died at the scene, while two others died at a hospital.
Cordova said speed was a factor in the crash but not alcohol.
In Piermont, N.Y., on Sunday, an artist crashed into the gallery that was hosting the opening of her own exhibit.
Hilda Epner accidentally drove her sport utility vehicle through the front of the Piermont Fine Arts Gallery while parking.
Witnesses said Epner, 85, appeared to press the accelerator instead of the brake, sending the SUV into the gallery’s large front window at full speed.
She was not seriously injured.
The vehicle left a trail of glass behind as it came to a rest against an art-filled wall.
