Terry Ivory Killed in Dallas Hit-and-Run Accident on I-30 near Cockrell Hill Road; Nestor Lujan Flores Arrested

Dallas, Texas – A pedestrian was killed Saturday night in a hit-and-run accident in Dallas, according to the police.

The deadly accident happened on December 16, on the I-30 service road near Cockrell Hill Road.

Police said White Settlement police initially responded to a welfare check at a Jack in the Box parking lot about a driver who was slumped over the steering wheel of a Kia Forte with extensive front-end, hood, and windshield damage. The officers found a human body in the front passenger seat next to the passed-out driver. It is believed the victim in the passenger seat was a pedestrian who was struck by the vehicle at the crosswalk and the impact threw him inside the vehicle where he came to rest on the passenger seat. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene. He has been identified as Terry Ivory,45. 

The driver of the vehicle, 31-year-old Nestor Nestor Lujan Flores of Arlington, told the officers he thought he had struck a deer in Dallas and continued to drive to the parking lot about 40 miles away. He was taken into custody at the White Settlement Jail on a pending charge of intoxication manslaughter and possibly failure to stop and render aid.

An investigation is underway.

Common Causes of Automobile Accidents

There are many different reasons why automobile, pedestrian, 18-wheeler, bicycle, and motorcycle accidents occur, including driver negligence, driver inattention, texting and driving, speeding, fatigue, failure to yield the right of way from a stop sign, or private drive, running a red light, and driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. While the factors listed above are the main causes of most accidents, there may also be other factors involved, which is why it’s important that an investigation be conducted before evidence disappears, especially in cases involving a fatality.  At Joel A.
