Dallas County, TX — December 30, 2025, Will Viloria was injured in a pedestrian versus hit-and-run car accident just before 11:00 p.m. along Throckmorton Street.

According to authorities, 28-year-old Will Viloria was on foot near the intersection of Throckmorton Street and Cedar Springs Road when the accident took place.

Officials indicate that, for reasons yet to be confirmed, Viloria was struck by a Mercedes-Benz GLA that had been traveling northeast on Throckmorton Street. The vehicle then allegedly fled the scene, the 54-year-old woman who had been behind the wheel failing to stop and render aid of any sort to the victim. There was local survellance video taken of the accident and a passerby was able to take a picture of the vehicle's licence plate. Authorities state that an arrest has been made in the case, though there is not yet any word on what charges the driver may be facing.

Viloria, who suffered serious injuries due to the hit-and-run collision, was reportedly transported to a local medical facility by EMS in order to receive necessary treatment. News reports state that he is in need of surgury.

Additional details pertaining to this incident are not available at this point in time. The investigation is currently ongoing.

When a pedestrian is seriously injured and the driver leaves the scene, the focus often shifts to locating and identifying the person responsible. But accountability doesn’t stop with an arrest—it also includes understanding why the crash happened in the first place and whether it could have been prevented.

1. Did the authorities thoroughly investigate the crash?
A hit-and-run, especially in an urban setting with surveillance footage and witness input, presents a valuable chance to piece together what really happened. Did investigators analyze the vehicle’s speed, line of sight, and braking distance? Did they reconstruct the pedestrian’s position and movement before the impact? This kind of crash deserves a full reconstruction—not just a charge sheet. If those steps weren’t taken immediately, some details may already be lost.

2. Has anyone looked into the possibility that a vehicle defect caused the crash?
Even when a driver flees, mechanical failure might have contributed. If the Mercedes-Benz GLA had brake problems, malfunctioning headlights, or disabled pedestrian detection systems, that could have affected the driver’s ability to avoid the crash—or even notice it happened. The vehicle’s systems and components should be inspected thoroughly. If that hasn’t happened yet, the window to gather objective mechanical evidence is closing.

3. Has all the electronic data relating to the crash been collected?
Today’s vehicles log detailed data about braking, acceleration, steering, and collision detection. In a luxury SUV like the GLA, that information is especially rich. Did the vehicle detect the crash and send an alert? Did the driver apply brakes or swerve? Paired with GPS tracking and infotainment data, these details can help confirm or challenge the driver's account. But unless someone collected that data quickly after the arrest, it may no longer be accessible.

A hit-and-run is never just about leaving the scene—it’s also about whether the collision itself was avoidable. Understanding what happened before, during, and after impact is the only way to ensure justice is based on facts, not assumptions.

Key Takeaways:

• Hit-and-run cases must be followed with full crash reconstruction to determine preventability.
• The suspect vehicle should be examined for potential mechanical or system-related failures.
• Vehicle data—including alerts, braking, and GPS—can reveal key crash details, if retrieved in time.
