Suspect in fatal accident surrenders to police
Steven Baesa, the 19 year-old driver in a fatal accident that Grand Prairie police have been hunting, turned himself in Tuesday afternoon.
Sergeant Eric Hansen, Traffic Division, said Baesa surrendered at the Grand Prairie Jail around 3:00 p.m. He is charged with Failure to Stop and Render Aid and is held on $20,000 bond, Hansen said.
Baesa is the suspected driver of a 2003 Ford Expedition that rolled over early Sunday morning on Interstate 30 killing a passenger, 19 year-old Jacqueline Martinez of Dallas.
Police have been searching for Baesa ever since he fled the accident scene on foot.
