Euless Head-On Collision on El Camino Real Injures Two Adults; Intoxication Assault Investigation Underway
A two-vehicle head-on crash in the 1200 block of El Camino Real sent two adults to the hospital with serious injuries Saturday evening, while children in one vehicle escaped unharmed. Euless police are investigating the collision as an intoxication assault.
EULESS, Texas â Two adults were hospitalized with serious injuries Saturday evening after a head-on collision on El Camino Real, and Euless police are now investigating the crash as an intoxication assault, authorities said.
The two-vehicle wreck occurred in the 1200 block of El Camino Real, a busy commercial corridor that carries traffic through the heart of Euless. Police did not release the names or ages of the injured adults, nor did they specify which vehicle each was traveling in.
Children were riding in one of the two vehicles at the time of the impact, but they were not hurt, according to police. The department did not say how many children were present or whether they were restrained in child safety seats.
No further details about the circumstances leading up to the collision were immediately available. Police have not said whether anyone has been arrested or charged, and the investigation remains active.
Intoxication assault is a felony under Texas law, applied when a driver suspected of being impaired causes serious bodily injury to another person. The designation signals that investigators believe alcohol or drugs may have played a role in the crash, though no formal findings have been announced.
El Camino Real is one of Euless's primary north-south arteries, lined with retail centers, restaurants and apartment complexes, and it carries a steady volume of local and commuter traffic. Head-on crashes on the roadway are relatively rare but tend to be severe because of the combined force of two vehicles striking each other directly.
Police asked anyone with information about the collision to contact the Euless Police Department. The department has not indicated when additional details, including the conditions of the two hospitalized adults, might be released.
