A man faces charges after Arlington police say he crashed into a pickup truck Tuesday night, injuring four people including two children.
Police believe Tyler Hampton was under the influence when his Mazda MX5 struck a Toyota Tundra on Interstate 20 near the interchange with Texas 360 at about 8:20 p.m.
Witnesses told police Hampton had been driving erratically prior to the crash and that when the pickup was struck it went off the roadway, rolled over a guardrail, and landed on its side.
Police said a 2-year-old girl had injuries that are considered life-threatening. On Dec. 23, the 2-year-old died in the hospital as a result of her injuries.
