Local sportswriter Matt Thornton identified Palacios as Gladney’s girlfriend. The revelation came after the Dallas County Sheriff’s Department released more information about Monday’s car crash.
Police say a white Mercedes SUV was speeding when it clipped another car, leading to the crash at around 2:30am on Monday. The SUV lost control and ran into a freeway pier beam, killing two people, believed to be Gladney and Palacios.
