A serious single-car accident on Erskine Street in Lubbock, TX near Englewood Avenue left two young men critically injured and another with minor injuries. LPD identified Sebastian Jackson, 19, as one of the injured passengers in 18-year old Aaron Longoria’s Dodge Charger. The accident happened early Saturday morning, February 23.
Scene of the Accident
According to the accident reports, Longoria was headed west along Erskine Street at about 4:30 a.m. and was allegedly driving at a high rate of speed when he lost control. The Charger swerved to the north side of Erskine and crashed into a utility pole, splitting the vehicle in half. The right half of the car continued on Erskine for about 120 feet, ejecting Flores and another teenage passenger before crashing through two fences on Englewood. The left half of the car continued for roughly 30 feet. Jackson was critically injured along with the second passenger and both were taken to UMC in life-threatening condition. Longoria sustained minor injuries and was also treated at UMC. The cause of the accident is still being investigated.
UPDATE: The name of the second passenger was later released: 19-year old Anthony Flores.
