Police said one person has died in a head-on crash following a wrong-way driver's trip down U.S. Highway 75.
Richardson police were following the driver of a silver Nissan Murano who was headed southbound in the northbound lanes of U.S. 75/Central Expressway at about 4 a.m. Monday.
Police said the Murano driver clipped a vehicle traveling northbound in the 9000 block of North Central Expressway and kept going. No one was injured.
A short time later, just north of Hall Street in Dallas, the driver of the Murano crashed head-on into a tan Toyota Camry.
The driver of the Camry died following the collision. The Dallas County medical examiner's office identified the driver as 51-year-old Jose Portillo, of Dallas.
The driver of the Murano survived the crash and is at an area hospital.
Dallas police said the driver of the wrong-way vehicle faces an intoxication manslaughter charge in the case.
