Dallas, TX (10/30/2019) – A man is now dead after a head-on collision on the Dallas North Tollway.
Chaz Thames was driving north in the southbound lanes of the Tollway when he collided head-on into a Nissan Altima early Monday morning.
The driver of the Altima, 57-year-old Melvin Taylor, was killed.
Thames, 30, was transported to a hospital, where he was treated for injuries.
The Tollway was closed for hours as police investigated the crash.
Thames was booked into the Dallas County Jail and is charged with intoxication manslaughter. He is being held on $100,000 bond.
Crash investigators will review all factors that may have led up to the accident and police reports will be made available in fourteen days.
According to an NTSB report, head-on collisions account for only 3 percent of accidents on roadways, but they are more likely to result in fatal and serious injuries than any other types of accidents.
The severity of these kinds of collisions are why hiring an attorney is essential; lawyers will be able to effectively determine who is at-fault, along with taking lead on all matters regarding insurance claims, demand letters, settlements, and other legalities.
