Garland, TX — December 14, 2025, a teen was injured in a car accident at about 11:35 a.m. in the 1700 block of Forest Lane.

A preliminary accident report indicates that a 2020 Land Rover Range Rover was headed east when it crashed into a traffic light pole. The SUV had issues with its brakes at the time of the crash.

A 14-year-old girl riding in the SUV was seriously injured in the crash, according to the report.

Driver King David Dickson Enaiho, 19, of Forney suffered minor injuries, while a third passenger, a 16-year-old girl, was not hurt, the report states.

Authorities have not released any additional information about the Dallas County crash at this time.

After any serious crash, questions often linger far beyond the scene itself. When a young person is hurt, those questions carry even more urgency, especially when mechanical issues may have played a role. It's in these moments that a deeper look becomes not just important, but essential.

Did the authorities thoroughly investigate the crash? We don’t know yet how thoroughly investigators processed this scene, but a high-speed impact into a fixed object, especially with injuries involved, should have prompted more than a surface-level review. The precision of modern crash tools, like scene mapping and vehicle trajectory modeling, can reveal details not obvious to the naked eye. When the crash involves young passengers and a potential mechanical failure, it’s fair to ask whether investigators tapped into all available expertise. Unfortunately, it’s not uncommon for scene reviews to vary depending on which agency arrives first and how experienced their personnel are with complex crash dynamics.

Has anyone looked into the possibility that a vehicle defect caused the crash? If reports about brake problems are accurate, a full mechanical inspection is critical. That means more than a visual glance. It means getting certified experts under the hood to assess hydraulic systems, brake lines, sensors and software. Vehicles like the one involved are loaded with advanced driver-assistance technology, and when those systems malfunction, they can lead to exactly the kind of sudden, uncontrollable incidents we see here. It’s not enough to assume what went wrong; the components need to be tested.

Has all the electronic data relating to the crash been collected? What a vehicle records can be just as important as what the witnesses say. A 2020 SUV is likely equipped with an engine control module and other systems that track speed, braking and steering inputs before a crash. Pulling that data can show if the brakes were actually applied and whether the system responded correctly. Phone data and traffic camera footage could also help confirm what the vehicle and its occupants were doing in the moments leading up to the impact. Without that layer of information, key facts may stay buried.

As unsettling as these situations are, they also raise a bigger point: the difference between surface-level answers and the truth often comes down to who asks the right questions. And in cases where young lives are affected, there's no excuse for not asking them.

Key Takeaways:

• Crash investigations aren’t all equal. Some go deeper than others.
• Brake failure claims should always trigger expert mechanical inspections.
• Data from the vehicle and nearby cameras can tell the real story.
