14-year-old killed, 16-year-old injured after hit-and-run crash in Garland, police say
A 30-year-old man was arrested following a hit-and-run crash that killed one teen and seriously injured another, the Garland Police Department said Sunday.
Police said Stetson Ybarbo, of Rowlett, was speeding eastbound on East Oates Road when his pickup truck left the roadway and struck a 14-year-old girl and 16-year-old boy, along with several parked cars near the intersection of Miami Drive.
Police said witnesses reported seeing Ybarbo flee the scene with a child after the crash, without helping either victim.
When officers arrived at the crash site, they found a 2005 brown Chevy Silverado with extensive damage. And based on evidence and witness statements, officers located Ybarbo at a home in Garland, where he was taken into custody.
Ybarbo was transported to the Garland Jail on charges of fail to stop and render aid – involving death and fail to stop and render aid – involving serious bodily injury, police said.
The investigation is ongoing. Police said the name and photos of the victims will not be released due to their ages.
