Dallas Fire-Rescue said around 8 a.m., officers were called to the scene of a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of E. Clarendon Drive and North Street.

It was raining at the time. Video from a nearby camera shows a work truck traveling at what appears to be a normal speed moment before colliding with an SUV.

"I was at a friend's house playing a game and I heard a loud thump noise. So when I heard it, I just came outside to see what was going on, and as I walked around the corner, there was a wreck," said Richard James, who lives in thea area.

James said the driver of the SUV seemed to be disoriented as he got out of the vehicle. 

"He walked around the car and then he finally came to. And he looked in the car and seen that everyone was pretty much injured. They were unconscious," he said. "After that, everyone was just trying to calm him down."

DFR officials said a total of two adults and four children were taken to the hospital for their injuries. One of those adults and two of the children died at the hospital.

What we don't know:

The names and ages of the deceased victims have not yet been released. It's not clear if they were in the SUV or the work truck.

The conditions of the surviving victims have also not been released.

Police are still investigating the circumstances surrounding the crash.

What they're saying:

People who live near where the crash happened believe the city needs to do more to slow down traffic in the area because of a curve that has a history of causing collisions.

James and others want the city to lower the speed limit, add flashing lights to warn people about the curve, and trim tree branches that create a blind spot.

The Dallas Police Department encouraged residents to reach out to the Department of Transportation and Public Works with concerns about safety issues.
