Multiple reports said that all six victims of the 6 die car hits tree incident were inside the same vehicle - a maroon 2004 Chevrolet Impala.
The Chevy Impala was heading southbound on Bonnie View Road near Persimmon Road past 9:00 p.m. when the vehicle struck a curb with a rear tire. The driver lost control then hit the median on the opposite side of the road, slamming into a tree on the passenger side, the Dallas police said.

Four of the 6 die car hits tree victim were pronounced dead at the site, while the other two victims were rushed to Baylor Medical Center at Dallas where they later died.

According to investigators, alcohol was not a factor in the violent 6 die car hits tree crash although, speed was. The posted speed limit along the stretch of the road is reportedly 40 mph, but a witness told FOX4 that the car was speeding at least 100 mph.
