Video: Wrong-way driver causes crash Texas interstate, killing young mother

A man faces intoxicated manslaughter charges after he drove the wrong way on Interstate 20 in Duncanville on Sunday, causing a deadly chain-reaction crash involving several vehicles.

DALLAS COUNTY, Tex. -- A man faces intoxicated manslaughter charges after he drove the wrong way on Interstate 20 in Duncanville on Sunday, causing a deadly chain-reaction crash involving several vehicles that left a young mother dead.

The Dallas County Sheriff's Office says Guillermo Suarez, 31, was driving a Nissan Armada east in the westbound lanes of I-20 when he sideswiped a vehicle, causing it to spin out of control, then get hit by another vehicle and stop at the concrete median.

Suarez then hit another vehicle head-on, which caused that vehicle to hit an 18-wheeler truck. That caused the truck to jack-knife and hit the wall, the sheriff's office said.

The 23-year-old driver of the vehicle he hit head on, who's been identified by her family as Amberly McCray, was pronounced dead. She leaves behind a 9-month-old son.

Suarez's vehicle burst into flames when it hit McCray's vehicle, which was caught on camera by a driver going the opposite direction.

The suspect is in the Intensive Care Unit in the hospital, under police custody for several outstanding warrants.

Suarez will most likely be charged with intoxication manslaughter or manslaughter, depending on the investigation, the sheriff's office said.
