GARLAND, TX – An 18-year-old man died last Friday night in a two-vehicle collision at a busy intersection in the northeast suburbs of Dallas, reports WFAA News 8.
The accident happened shortly before 10:30 p.m. at the intersection of TX-78 southbound, or South Garland Avenue, and Stratford Drive in the city of Garland.
