At least three people are dead and two more injured after a wreck near a busy intersection in Oak Cliff.
It happened just after 2:00 p.m. Saturday near the intersection of Jefferson Blvd. and Rosemont Avenue.
Dallas police said Jessica Barrientos was driving a white car over the speed limit. Officers said she lost control, hit the base of a light pole then hit a black BMW that was also traveling along Jefferson Blvd.
Barrientos was pronounced dead at the scene. Her boyfriend, 23-year-old Agustin Gatez Molina, and his mother, 66-year-old Maria Molina, were also in the car. They also passed away shortly after the crash.
Relative Elias Molina, a grandson and nephew of the victims, told NBC5 Agustin Molina had his life together - a car, a job - and was "going places".
"This family, this family right here - we're one of a kind<" Molina said.
"Los Molinas - we keep our tears in, and we are going to bring them home."
