Grand Prairie police said a 6-year-old was killed over the weekend after he was struck by a vehicle just north of the intersection of State Highway 360 and Post and Paddock Road.
About 8 p.m. on September 10, the boy was crossing the street near the 2700 block of Regency Drive when he was struck by an SUV, according to police. He was taken to a hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries.
Police did not release the boy’s name. They identified the driver of the vehicle as 35-year-old Herschel Pearson, who police believe was intoxicated at the time of the crash.
Pearson was arrested after the incident and is facing a second-degree felony charge of intoxication manslaughter. His bond had not been set as of the time of this reporting.
