Dallas, TX (February 7, 2026) – Two pedestrians were killed on Thursday, February 5, after being struck by a vehicle following a crash in north Dallas. The fatal accident occurred around 6:17 p.m. in the 7900 block of Frankford Road.

Authorities said two vehicles collided, causing one of the cars to leave the roadway. The out-of-control vehicle then struck two men who were standing on a sidewalk. The pedestrians were identified as men aged 45 and 49.

Emergency crews arrived and provided medical assistance at the scene. Both pedestrians were taken to a local hospital, where they later died from their injuries.

The drivers and occupants of both vehicles were also hurt in the crash. One car carried two elderly women, ages 92 and 79. The 92-year-old woman was hospitalized with minor injuries, while information about the other woman’s condition was limited.

The second vehicle was driven by a 23-year-old man, who was also taken to the hospital with minor injuries.

Investigators have not yet said what caused the initial collision or whether any charges may follow. Authorities continue to review the circumstances surrounding the crash.

We extend our sincere condolences to the families of the two men who lost their lives.

What Happens After a Fatal Pedestrian Accident in Dallas?

After a fatal pedestrian accident, families often have questions about what steps may be available next. While no legal process can undo the loss, speaking with a lawyer can help explain how insurance claims and possible wrongful death cases are commonly handled. Early guidance may help families understand timelines, required paperwork, and what information is typically requested.

Pedestrian crashes often involve complicated insurance situations. There may be multiple drivers, vehicles, and policies involved, especially when a crash leads to a pedestrian being struck. Families may be contacted by different insurance companies asking for statements or records. Knowing how these communications usually work can help families decide how to respond and what documents to keep.

Fatal pedestrian accidents can also bring financial challenges. Medical treatment before death, funeral expenses, and lost income can affect surviving relatives. In some cases, families may be eligible to seek compensation related to these losses. Eligibility depends on several factors, including insurance coverage and the circumstances of the crash.

A wrongful death attorney can help review available information and explain what options may exist. Legal guidance may include reviewing crash reports, medical records, and insurance policies. An attorney can also explain how compensation claims are evaluated and what steps are often taken in similar cases.
