Leo comes home after crash

5-year-old Leo Bryant Steward returned home this week after spending over a month in the hospital. He was seriously injured in a Pleasant Grove crash on August 11.

T-boned at intersection

Leo and his mother Markietta Bryant were T-boned at Elam Road and N. Masters Drive. Leo suffered traumatic brain injuries, including swelling and bleeding.

Unresponsive for days

Leo didn't wake up for several days after the crash. His mother pulled him from the car while he was unresponsive.

“When I pulled my son out of the car, he was unresponsive. Even when we got his pulse, he still wasn't awake for a few days before he woke up.”

Suspect fled domestic violence call

Police arrested 54-year-old Ronnie Alcaraz at the scene. He fled from officers responding to a domestic violence call where he allegedly threatened to kill his girlfriend.

Multiple charges filed

Alcaraz faces charges including evading arrest causing serious bodily harm and aggravated assault. He remains in Dallas County Jail on $355,000 bond.

Starting kindergarten soon

Leo will need ongoing physical therapy at home. He was about to start kindergarten when the crash happened and will meet his teacher tomorrow.
