The Rosales family was traveling home from a day at Texas Six Flags and dinner at a Panda Express when a red Dodge Charger slammed into their Chevy Traverse.

The family’s car had just turned onto a side street when the red Charger hit them at a high rate of speed, WFAA said, citing surveillance footage obtained by police.

Seconds before the collision, the red vehicle was allegedly revving its engine and street racing with a white Dodge Charger.

The crash caused the Chevy Traverse to flip over twice and burst into flames, videos of the scene showed.

“I just heard a real loud bang like a, like an explosion and I saw the vehicles roll twice, two people get ejected and the vehicle just caught on fire so fast,” said Yvette Acosta, who was pumping gas near the scene of the crash.

Onlookers tried to help rescue the family, but it was already too late, she told KTVT.

“Devastating and very hurtful because a lot of people were trying to help them, and they couldn’t get close to them,” she said.

“I haven’t been able to sleep well. Hearing them and not being able to get them out, it’s very hurtful. I wish I could help those people. It’s an emotional and tragic event.”

Three members of the Rosales family were pronounced dead at the scene, and a fourth died at the hospital, the authorities said.

Jaime Mesa, the driver of the vehicle that crashed into the Chevy Traverse, was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.

Mesa, 20, was charged with one count of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, one count of racing on a highway causing serious bodily injury, four counts of manslaughter, and four counts of racing on a highway causing death, according to the Grand Prairie Police Department.

The driver of the white car, Anthony Morales. initially fled the scene, but was eventually tracked down by police.

Morales, 22, was also arrested and charged with one count of racing on a highway causing serious bodily injury and four counts of racing on a highway causing death.

Both men are currently in Dallas County Jail, the Grand Prairie Police Department told The Post.

Anthony Rosales only survived the horror crash because he was thrown from the car, his relatives wrote on a GoFundMe page.

The fundraiser will help Anthony and his two other siblings, Jessie and Natalie, pay for their loved one’s funerals and Anthony’s medical bills.

As of Thursday morning, the page had raised over $61,000 of its $100,000 goal.

“We’re just trying to see if he’s gonna be able to survive and I just want the best for him,” Anthony’s paternal aunt, Delia Rosales, told WFAA of her nephew.

“We cannot believe it. We’re still waiting for my brother to come by. He doesn’t show up,” she added.

The family is glad that the suspected street racers have been charged in the crash, but noted that legal consequences will not heal the pain left by their staggering loss.

“They’re gone and they’re gone forever. And I know they’re in custody supposedly, but they’re not gonna bring them back,” Delia Rosales said.
