Woman charged with DWI after Lewisville New Year’s Day crash where another woman died
A woman has been charged with DWI after she was involved in a two-vehicle crash in Lewisville early on New Year’s Day in which a woman was killed and a man was seriously injured.
Marrisamary Guadalupe Pecina, 25, was arrested and charged following her release from an area hospital, where she was treated for non-life-threatening injuries, Lewisville police said. She had reportedly been driving a GMC Terrain on State Highway 121 early Wednesday when — at the 135 East Frontage Road — her car collided with a Chevy Cavalier occupied by a male driver and female passenger.
Lewisville detectives are still “determining the moments leading up to the collision and who may be at fault,” police said Thursday.
The woman who was a passenger in the Cavalier, identified as 25-year-old Jennifer Greer of Spring, died inside Medical City Lewisville around 4:15 a.m. Wednesday, according to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office. She died of blunt-force trauma to the head, the medical examiner reported, and her death was classified as a homicide.
The man who was driving the Cavalier remains in the hospital with serious injuries, police said.
Lewisville officers were dispatched to the crash on State Highway 121 at the 135 East Frontage Road around 3:44 a.m. Wednesday, police said. The three people involved were all transported to hospitals.
Photos from the scene provided by police show the Chevy Cavalier totaled, with its front end smashed in, doors missing and front windshield and windows blown out. The front end of the GMC Terrain was seriously damaged, photos show, but the rest of the car appears to be largely unaffected.
An investigation into the crash is ongoing, police said, and additional charges could be filed once the probe is complete.
