Texas’ ArlingtonThe man who is suspected of killing two pedestrians in a hit-and-run accident over the weekend has been taken into custody by Arlington police.
The two victims were flung 50 to 100 feet away due to the force of the crash. Then, without pausing to assist, the motorist drove away.
The Most Recent Information Nathan Vaughan, 33, was taken into custody on Tuesday.

The two people were flung 50 to 100 feet away, according to the police, because of the force of the impact. Without offering assistance, the driver of a silver Chevy Malibu drove off.
The Backstory: Lamar Boulevard, close to Six Flags, is where the fatal collision occurred.
According to the police, a silver Malibu that was driving onto the sidewalk struck a 22-year-old male and a 23-year-old woman who were strolling down it.
One victim was flung fifty feet when the automobile struck them with such force. The other was found over a hundred feet away from the crash site.
“The pedestrians are just using the sidewalk, then. They’re not doing improperly. Sgt. Alex Rosado of the Arlington Police Department stated, “They are where they should be.” “The car, for whatever reason, leaves the main roadway there, strikes them, and immediately returns back into the roadway.”

Police think speed was a factor in the collision, which occurred Friday night.
Traffic cameras recorded the crash. Police, however, claimed that the still photos and video were too explicit to be made public.

What We Don t Know:Although investigators believe Vaughan was driving from one bar to another at the time of the crash, they haven t said whether they think he was drunk, under the influence of drugs, or had a medical emergency.
He is currently only facing two charges related to a crash that resulted in death.
