A deadly hit-and-run crash in Garland claimed the life of a 14-year-old girl and seriously injured a 16-year-old boy. According to WFAA, Garland police responded around 10:15 p.m. Saturday near East Oates Road and Miami Drive after a pickup truck struck two teenagers and several parked cars. Police said the 14-year-old girl died, and the 16-year-old boy was taken to the hospital with serious injuries. Investigators said the driver fled the scene after the crash. CBS Texas reported that 30-year-old Stetson Ybarbo of Rowlett was later arrested after police located him at a Garland home. Police said speed was determined to be a significant factor, and Ybarbo faced charges including failure to stop and render aid involving death, failure to stop and render aid involving serious bodily injury, manslaughter, and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Fatal hit-and-run crashes involving pedestrians require a thorough investigation. A Texas wrongful death lawyer can review whether speeding, reckless driving, intoxication, distraction, failure to maintain control, roadway conditions, parked vehicle impacts, or another preventable factor contributed to the collision. Evidence can disappear quickly after a deadly pedestrian crash. Vehicle damage, black box data, surveillance footage, dashcam video, witness statements, crash scene photos, roadway measurements, police reports, toxicology results, and medical records may all be critical to determining what happened and who may be responsible. If your loved one was killed or seriously injured in a Garland pedestrian accident, East Oates Road crash, Dallas County hit-and-run, or Texas wrongful death case involving a reckless driver, your family may have the right to seek justice and pursue compensation for funeral expenses, medical bills, lost financial support, mental anguish, loss of companionship, and other damages.

A Midland teen was killed and four other people were critically injured in an overnight incident reported on June 1, 2026.
