Video shows man hit by his own truck during carjacking in Dallas; suspect arrested, police say
A man was hit by his own truck during a carjacking near Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas on Saturday, police say.
Just before 8 p.m., police responded to a robbery at the hospital in the 1300 block of Finnell Street. Police say the reported robbery happened around 6:40 p.m.
The trucking company owner, who did not want to be identified, told police he was talking outside his truck when a suspect got into his truck and drove off. The victim told police he tried to stop it by jumping in front of his vehicle; however, the suspect, later identified as 32-year-old Miguel De La Osa Gonzalez, hit the victim and fled the location. Surveillance cameras captured the stolen truck being driven away.
The victim was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. He said he hit his head and suffered multiple injuries.
"My shoulder, my leg, my back, my foot," the trucking company owner said. "I never have experienced something like this in my life."
On Sunday, police spotted the stolen truck in the 9400 block of Larga Drive and initiated a traffic stop, about two miles from where it was stolen. Gonzalez was taken into custody and to the Dallas County Jail.
"I wish he'd go to jail for a long time," the owner of the truck said.
The investigation is ongoing.
