Plano police have apprehended a 22-year-old man following a tragic accident that claimed the lives of two individuals. The incident occurred on Friday night when a Ford F150 collided with a Toyota RAV4.
According to authorities, the accident took place around 7:15 p.m. as the RAV4 was attempting to make a left turn onto Cross Bend Road from Alma Drive. The Ford F150, traveling at a high speed on Alma Drive, struck the RAV4, causing it to overturn. Both vehicles subsequently collided with a traffic signal pole and a tree.
