7-year-old killed when speeding truck crashes in Target parking lot.

An 82-year-old Texas man could face charges for a deadly crash in a Lake Worth parking lot.

Saturday's wreck killed 7-year-old Savannah Deegear.

Six others, including the driver, Vincent Martinez, all required treatment.

Some remain hospitalized.

Martinez's pick-up truck came to a stop on top of another vehicle.

Martinez's family said he is diabetic and he may have had a medical crisis at the time of the crash.

Regardless, police said Martinez could still face a felony charge.

"The highest charge he could possibly face is manslaughter, which is a second degree felony, which carries a fine of 2-20 years in the penitentiary and a ten thousand dollar fine," said Officer Don Price with Lake Worth Police Department.

Police have not made a determination on charges yet.

It has not been officially determined that Martinez had a medical issue while driving.
