Records obtained by CBS 11 show more people have died in wrong-way crashes in Dallas County so far this year than all of last year and each year before that going back to 2017.
The new information comes after Dallas police officer Jacob Arellano died last week in a crash with a wrong-way driver.
In Dallas, Tarrant, Collin and Denton counties, there have been 22 deadly crashes so far this year, which is the same amount as all of last year.Sho Williams of Arlington said he came face to face with a wrong-way driver on an area highway. Scott Cooner, an engineer at Texas A&M Transportation Institute, said wrong-way crashes represent only one percent of all wrecks from year to year. Most happen between midnight and 5 a.m.
Cooner said TxDOT installed cameras next to warning signs to detect wrong-way drivers and notify TxDOT's operations center.Video from TxDOT shows how the driver quickly realized he or she was going the wrong way.
