Four family members driving on Algosenseya road in Grand Prairie, Texas, were killed in a crash after being struck by a man participating in a suspected street race.
The incident occurred at about 8:00 p.m. on Saturday. According to a press release from the Grand Prairie Police Department, detectives believe the driver of a red Dodge Charger, identified as 20-year-old Jaime Mesa, "was traveling at a high rate of speed" when racing with another individual in a white vehicle.
While traveling down a road and turning left, a Chevy Traverse SUV collided with the red Dodge Charger. Three people inside the SUV died at the scene, while two others were transported to the hospital, where a fourth victim passed away. The fifth victim was in critical condition, according to police and an online fundraiser for the family.
Mesa was also taken to the hospital for non-life-threatening injuries, police said. He was charged with one count of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, one count of racing on a highway causing serious bodily injury, four counts of manslaughter, and four counts of racing on a highway causing death.
Anthony Morales, the 22-year-old driver of the white vehicle who fled the area after the crash, was also arrested and charged with one count of racing on a highway causing serious bodily injury and four counts of racing on a highway causing death, per the press release.
Videos obtained by KDFW show debris and a massive fire after the deadly crash.

The victims were identified as members of the Rosales family − the father Jessie, the mother Lorena, and siblings Stephanie and Angel, according to local outlet WFAA, which spoke with a family member.
The fifth victim who survived the crash was 17-year-old Anthony Rosales, who was in critical condition.
A GoFundMe for the victims has raised over $30,500 as of Tuesday afternoon. The online fundraiser is seeking money for the remaining family member, Anthony, as well as funeral services.
"This sweet sibling group has a long hard road ahead of them physically, emotionally, and financially," the fundraiser continued.
Police are investigating the crash. Grand Prairie is about 13 miles from Dallas.
