The Brief Fort Worth police arrested 34-year-old Gustavo Diaz on intoxication assault charges after he allegedly rear-ended an SUV on I-35W, flipping the vehicle and injuring two occupants. Diaz had been arrested for DWI just one week prior, and investigators say he attempted to flee the scene on foot before witnesses helped police locate him. The identity and updated medical status of the second passenger remain unknown, though they were last reported in critical condition with a broken leg.



Fort Worth police say this suspect's vehicle hit the victim's vehicle, causing both vehicles to veer towards the wall.

The victim's vehicle flipped as the two people inside were then trapped, and other drivers rushed to help.
