An Arlington man who apparently was racing another vehicle on Texas 360 died Sunday when his car smashed into the rear of a sport utility vehicle.

Avinash Bajracharya, 22, was driving a 2007 Toyota Scion at a "very high speed" when the crash occurred about 10:20 a.m. at Riverside Parkway.

Police said the car was northbound on Texas 360 and swerving through traffic when it hit a 2004 Chevrolet Avalanche, causing the car to spin out of control, hit a retaining wall and flip twice.

Bajracharya was partially ejected. He was taken to Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas where he died at 12:22 p.m.

The driver of the Avalanche, a 63-year-old Arlington man, was not injured.

Witnesses reported that Bajracharya was racing another car on the freeway at the time of the crash.

The other car is described as either a gray Audi (possibly a TT or an R8) or a Nissan 350Z.

Anyone with information about this car is asked to call the Grand Prairie Police Department Traffic Division at 972-237-8906.

This is the fourth traffic fatality in Grand Prairie this year.



Sounds like he got exactly what he deserved for racing on the public roadways.

It is unfortunate that the guy in the scion wont ever had a chance to correct his actions. :(

You're right. He won't ever be able to live down the fact that he drove an ugly ass scion.

That's fucked up. Nobody deserves to die just because they were street racing. You're a hypocrite.

Weaving at high speed through cars isn't street racing, it's faggotry.

i think there is a reasonable chance there is no connection with the 350z/audi. Remember how often there are "reports" on "dangerous street racing" , when its really just one guy driving like an asshole really fast.

it's nice to hear that the innocent party in the avalanche didn't get injured from someone else's carelessness.

that's not usually the case with street racing tragedies.

Is it me or are a lot of these street racing accidents/deaths kids in imports? What makes it worse is the fact that they could be drugg by 90% of the cars/trucks/suv's driving around. I remember dragging a prelude in our GMC Envoy on 121, you should of seen this kids face. They shouldn't be racing.

This bad boy has the same motor out of the Gallardo.
