Daurick Romel Scott Jr. died after a wreck involving several vehicles

According to police, Daurick Romel Scott Jr., 23, was speeding and not wearing a seatbelt when he triggered the chain-collision disaster that took his life and badly injured a passenger on Saturday.

On June 3, at around 4:20 p.m., officers were called to the intersection of Rosewood Drive and the E. Central Texas Expressway to look into a collision that left a driver stuck.

In critical condition, Scott Jr. and a female passenger in his car were sent to hospitals. Scott Jr. passed away from his wounds at Seton Medical Center Harker Heights, and Justice of the Peace Gregory Johnson pronounced him dead at 4:44 p.m.

According to police, the first investigation showed Scott Jr. was operating a gray Dodge Challenger and was moving “at a high rate of speed” as he approached Rosewood Drive from the inside turn-left only lane of the eastbound E. Central Texas Expressway.

The Challenger’s driver “disregarded the turn marks at the intersection and struck a red Dodge Durango that was trying to make a left turn at the intersection,” according to police, after entering the intersection.

Following the collision, the Dodge Durango went into the center median and struck a semi-truck trailer that was attempting to turn onto the East Central Texas Expressway from the turn-around. The Challenger then struck a traffic light post.

The condition of the female passenger was not updated by police.
