An SMU student died after a car accident last weekend. Nineteen-year-old driver Honor Wallace died from her injuries, while passenger Cece Solberg survived the accident.

According to a Dallas Police Department report, the accident occurred in the 5100 block of Monticello Ave in Dallas. Solberg and Wallace were traveling eastbound on Monticello Ave and had a green light at the intersection for the 4800 N Central Expressway service road.

As Wallace entered the intersection, one suspect, 27-year-old Lynlee Pollis, ran a red light traffic signal and crashed into the girls in the intersection. Pollis was charged with both intoxication assault and intoxication manslaughter, according to the Dallas Police Department.
