Police identify speeding driver blamed for fiery 3-vehicle crash in east El Paso that claimed his own life
UPDATE 4/22: The speeding driver who died was identified by El Paso police as 30 -year old Daniel Stubbemann.
ORIGINAL REPORT: EL PASO, Texas -- A speeding driver who ran a stop sign is blamed for causing a fiery 3-vehicle crash Friday on El Paso's east side that resulted in his own death.
That crash happened in the 3300 block of Wedgewood Drive near the Edgemere Boulevard intersection just before 10 a.m.
The victim's car, a 2019 Nissan GTR, could be seen engulfed in flames in the roadway after the collision. Officers said he died at the scene.
Police didn't immediately release the man's name saying they were still the process of trying to notify his family.
Investigators said the car was "speeding in excess of twice the speed limit" when it ran a stop sign at the intersection, then struck another vehicle and forced it into a third car.
The driver of one of those other vehicles struck in the collision was taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Police had initially tweeted that one of the vehicles crashed into a house - but that vehicle ended up coming to a stop in the front yard and didn't actually strike the house.
