This weekend, the body of a man was discovered inside a car that was parked at a Jack in the Box along Interstate 30 in White Settlement. The location of the automobile was approximately 40 miles away from where the police in White Settlement believe the guy was struck by the car.
An individual who was 45 years old and believed to be homeless has been recognized as the victim by the police. It was known that he would spend time in the vicinity of Interstate 30 on Cockrell Hill Road in Dallas County, which is where authorities discovered signs of a collision and human remains that are thought to belong to him on Saturday.
After receiving a call to 911, the White Settlement police department reportedly found the remaining parts of the deceased man’s corpse.
One of the women on the phone is heard saying, “I’m at the Jack in the Box,” while the call is recorded. “I just finished going through the drive-through window. In addition to that, there was a male passenger in the vehicle. It appears as though he was involved in a collision with a vehicle. The only thing I wanted to do was make sure that he is okay because he has just fallen over in the seat.
Officers who responded discovered a gray Kia in the parking lot that had severe damage to the front end of the vehicle.
According to the reports, Nestor Lujan Flores was found dozing off in the driver’s seat. A body was found in the passenger seat next to him, hidden by a huge hole in the windshield for the windshield.
Deputies from Dallas County discovered the crash scene, which was later brought to the attention of the police.
Flores is believed to have struck the victim at that location, and then proceeded to drive an additional 38 miles away while the victim was sitting in the passenger seat next to him until the vehicle finally broke down.
It was a pool of radiator fluid that was present. The cars have sustained significant damage. In light of this, we are of the opinion that the vehicle would not start again,” stated Chris Cook, the Chief of Police for White Settlement.
A charge of intoxication manslaughter has been filed against Flores, and he has been placed under detention while the authorities wait for the results of a blood alcohol test which will be conducted.
“Once we placed him in the backseat of our car, the officer commented that it smelled like a brewery,” Cook continued.
Additionally, this is not the first time that Flores has been charged with a felony that is tied to alcohol.
In the year 2020, he was pulled over by Plano police for speeding on the Dallas North Tollway, which resulted to his conviction for driving while intoxicated. According to the report filed by the police, he acknowledged to having four glasses of wine at the time as well.
According to the complaint, he was demonstrating his phone to a law enforcement officer when he received a text message from his brother that stated, “you driving drunk.”
According to the police, Flores said to them on Saturday that he believed he had hit a deer.
At approximately six o’clock in the evening, they believe he drove from his residence in Arlington to the Dallas region. It is suspected that the collision took place in Dallas County and occurred between the hours of 8 p.m. and 8:40 p.m. At eleven fifteen o’clock in the evening, the finding was made in White Settlement.
