A Dallas-area driver is accused of fatally striking a pedestrian, driving
40 miles, parking at a restaurant and telling police who discovered a body
in his passenger seat that he believed he had hit an animal.

Nestor Joel Lujan Flores, 31, was slumped over the steering wheel of a Kia
Forte that had extensive damage to its hood and windshield when police
found him about 11:15 p.m. Saturday in a White Settlement restaurant
parking lot.

Lujan Flores, who in 2021 was convicted of driving while intoxicated in
nearby in Collin County, is accused of intoxication manslaughter.

“Detectives believe the impact was so severe, that the pedestrian was
thrown inside the vehicle and came to rest on the passenger seat,”
according to police in White Settlement, which is about 40 miles west of
Dallas.
After a concerned citizen called police about the vehicle and its damage,
an "officer arrived and noticed what appeared to be a human body with no
signs of life in the front passenger seat" White Settlement police said on
Facebook.

"He believed he had struck an animal in Dallas and continued driving to
this parking lot. The driver never notified police or fire emergency
responders of this incident," police said.

Police said Lujan Flores’ car had been in the restaurant’s parking lot for
serval hours when the officer arrived.

Police initially contacted several Dallas- and Fort Worth-area law
enforcement agencies looking for the site of the initial crash scene.

Police on Sunday morning said the Dallas County Sheriff’s Office informed
them of a crash on the westbound service road of Interstate 30 near
Cockrell Hill Road in Dallas County, about 38 miles from the restaurant
where Lujan Flores and the victim were discovered.

"Human remains were located near the roadway that may possibly match the
victim’s body that was recovered from inside the vehicle in the restaurant
parking lot,” police said.

Based on that information, police said, White Settlement police will
transition the criminal case for prosecution to the Dallas County
Sheriff’s Office.

Investigators secured a blood search warrant. The results are pending,
police said.

Lujan Flores remained Monday in White Settlement jail. It was not clear
Monday if he had retained an attorney.

NBC Dallas-Fort Worth reported White Settlement Police Chief Christopher
Cook said he’s never seen a similar case in his 28 years in law
enforcement.

“It’s very unfortunate that he did not realize that this was a human being
to stop and render aid, and call for help,” Cook said. “When you’re
impaired to this level where you hit a pedestrian on the roadway and you
think it’s an animal, that’s a significant impairment.
