HOUSTON — Houston police say a suspected drunken driver has been arrested for
allegedly causing a wreck that killed a girl hours after she
attended prom.
Harris County jail records show 26-year-old Edin Palacios of Houston was being held without bond Monday on murder and evading arrest charges.
Police say Palacios early Saturday was seen driving in an erratic manner and officers tried to stop him, but his pickup truck ran a red light and hit a car.
A girl in the car died at the scene. Her prom date was driving and he suffered broken bones.
Palacios was treated for minor injuries before being booked into jail Monday.
