TX Drunk Diver Hits Pedestrian With Car-Drives Victim’s Body 38 Miles
A Texas man was arrested on Saturday night in Texas. He allegedly allegedly hit and killed a pedestrian before driving nearly 40 miles with the body in his passenger seat! According to a police press release, detectives believe the driver struck a pedestrian somewhere between Arlington and White Settlement, Texas. A Flock Safety Alert was recovered at the eastbound lanes of the 1900 block of E. Mayfield at New York Avenue at 6:01 p.m. placing the vehicle in Arlington prior to this case investigation.
Detectives also believe the impact was so severe, that the pedestrian was thrown inside the vehicle and came to rest on the passenger seat. Investigators believe the vehicle may have arrived at the restaurant parking lot between 8:00 and 9:00 p.m., even though the first telephone call came in at 11:13 p.m. by a concerned citizen.
The driver was later identified as 31-year-old Nestor Joel Lujan Flores, and he told police he thought he hit an animal in Dallas and continued to drive to the parking lot in White Settlement, about 38 miles from Dallas. He did not notify the police about the incident, the release stated. Police also stated that human remains were found near a roadway on Interstate Highway 30 in Dallas that might possibly match the victim whose body was recovered in the fast food chain parking lot.
According to the article, Flores is in custody pending a charge of intoxication manslaughter. He was also arrested in 2020 for driving while intoxicated by the Plano Police Department and convicted for the same charge in 2021.
