Jasmine Hassan Killed in Dallas Pedestrian Accident on McKinney Avenue

Dallas, Texas (March 22, 2021) – A 21-year-old woman was killed early Monday morning in a hit-and-run crash in Dallas, according to police.

The deadly accident happened just after 2:00 a.m., in the 2800 block of McKinney Avenue. 

Police said Jasmine Hassan, 21, and another person had left a business in the area and were walking into their vehicle. There was a man who had parked his 2-door sedan as the two walked to their vehicle.

The three people got into a verbal argument, and it turned into a physical altercation between Hassan and the sedan driver. Hassan, at some point, leaned into the sedan’s window. The sedan’s driver accelerated with part of Hassan’s body still inside the car, causing her to fall, and she was run over by the sedan.

Hassan was taken to a local hospital, where she was pronounced dead. 

The sedan driver, described as a Latin male in his early 20’s, fled the scene, heading westbound on McKinney Avenue.

The police are conducting the investigation.

Who May Make a Wrongful Death Claim in Texas?

A wrongful death claim for a family member may be brought by spouses, children or parents. The State of Texas also allows the estate of the deceased to bring a survival action to recover for past medical expenses and conscious pain and suffering, as well as other non-economic damages which the deceased may have suffered before death. Texas does not permit brothers, sisters, cousins, or grandparents to assert any claims for the death of a family member.

Wrongful death claims require an attorney who understands the complexity of the damages caused by a significant loss. The lawyer representing the client has the responsibility to hire the necessary experts to help prove the case.
