7 hurt in fiery rollover crash at busy northeast El Paso intersection, drunk driving suspected
EL PASO, Texas -- Seven people were injured in a fiery rollover crash at a busy northeast El Paso intersection during the evening rush hour Monday, and police suspected drunk driving in the incident.
That crash involving a pickup truck and an SUV happened at Sean Haggerty and Dyer around 5:45 p.m. in what the fire department dispatched as a "mass casualty incident."
The SUV - which rolled over on impact - was carrying a group of people, a fire department spokesman said.
He indicated that six of the victims suffered major injuries, while one person had a minor injury.
A police supervisor said a DWI unit had responded to the scene, signaling that drunk driving may have been a factor in the crash.
