Eldrick Demond Westbrook
A third woman has died after she was injured in a car wreck involving a suspected drunken driver early Sunday in Arlington.
Martha Perez, 26, was pronounced dead Wednesday morning. Perez was driving when her vehicle was struck around 2 a.m. Sunday in the intersection of Matlock Road and the Interstate 20 service road. Police said 38-year-old Eldrick Demond Westbrook ran a red light and struck the vehicle.
Police originally reported that three women had died in the crash but later said it was two. Alejandra Alvarado, 26, and Alexandra Rodriguez, 19, were in the vehicle with Perez. Alvarado died at the scene, and Rodriguez died at the hospital. A fourth passenger was transported to the hospital, but he was expected to survive, police said.
Westbrook has been charged with two counts of intoxication manslaughter and one count of intoxication assault in connection with the fatal crash. He has been transferred to the Tarrant County jail, where he remains in lieu of $120,000 bail.
Police said the intoxication assault charge may be upgraded to an intoxication manslaughter charge.
