An Irving man was killed in early June after a driver struck him twice with a vehicle, according to local television footage. Local reports described the motorist as a suspected drunk driver. Investigators have released few details about the victim or the exact crash location as they continue to review the case.
What the report shows
A video segment and short story published yesterday by FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth show the man being hit two separate times and state that the crash was fatal. The report, filed by David Sentendrey, refers to the motorist as a suspected drunk driver but does not identify the victim or list any criminal charges.
How big a problem is impaired driving?
Alcohol-impaired crashes remain a leading cause of traffic deaths nationwide. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports 11,904 alcohol-impaired-driving fatalities in 2024, accounting for roughly 30% of all roadway deaths. State figures highlight the toll in Texas as well, with TxDOT reporting that nearly 1,000 people in the state died in drunk-driving crashes last year, a burden felt in communities across North Texas.
Local response and where to look for updates
The Irving Police Department is handling the crash investigation and shares city and traffic updates on its official website, which also lists resources for victims and witnesses.
