Wrong-way driver involved in crash on George Bush Turnpike, killing two

IRVING -- Police do not have an easy rationale as to why Katherine Long, 22, of Frisco, decided to make a U-turn on the Bush Turnpike in her Honda Civic and begin driving the wrong way early in the morning June 27.

A Star-Telegram article said Long soon struck a Ford Taurus driven by Joseph Wallace, 53, of Rockwall, near Midway Road, despite efforts by state troopers to stop her. Long died at the scene and Wallace was transported to a hospital, where he also died.
