Intoxicated Driver Strikes Pedestrian, Covers Nearly 40 Miles

A driver, Nestor Joel Lujan Flores, was arrested in White Settlement, nearly 40 miles from the crash site in Dallas, after being found passed out in a restaurant parking lot with a dead body in his car. Police reported that Flores "smelled like a brewery" following the crash and had previously been arrested for DWI in 2020. The victim, believed to be homeless, was struck near an intersection and human body parts were later found in the area. Flores claimed he thought he had hit a deer. The investigation is ongoing, and law enforcement agencies are emphasizing the importance of preventing drunk driving during the holiday season.
