A BMW struck two barriers and crashed on the northbound lanes of Dallas North Tollway near Trinity Mills Road at about 2:30 a.m., according to Texas Department of Public Safety spokesman Lt. Lonny Haschel.
Haschel said a person driving a Chrysler minivan saw the crash scene and stopped to help.
The BMW driver and a passenger and the Chrysler driver were standing outside their vehicles when a Toyota Camry crashed into the BMW, pushing it into the Chrysler, according to authorities.
Haschel said the BMW passenger was pinned between the vehicles in the second crash. Dallas Fire-Rescue responded and transported the BMW passenger to Medical Center of Plano with serious injuries.
The BMW driver ran from the scene and was later found at a nearby Whataburger, Haschel said. Authorities said they took the driver into custody for suspected DWI.
The drivers of the Chrysler and the Toyota were not injured.
