Arlington Car Accident Along Interstate 30 Leads to Tragedy

Posted on Mar 18, 2011

An Arlington car accident involving a sport utility vehicle (SUV) claims the lives of two men after the driver slammed into a bridge support. The incident took place at approximately 6:30 AM on Wednesday morning, March 9, 2011, along Interstate 30, near Dallas.

According to police, a Lexus SUV traveling west on Interstate 30 left the North Texas freeway and slammed into a bridge support at the Davis Drive overpass, between Fielder Street and Cooper Street. Rescue crews found the SUV upside down, wedged between the bridge pillars.

The force of the impact ejected the unidentified driver from the vehicle. He was pronounced dead at the accident scene from injuries sustained in the single-vehicle accident. An unidentified passenger was found inside the vehicle. He was also pronounced dead at the accident scene. Police report that both victims were in their early twenties.

Police have yet to determine the actual cause of the crash, but indicate that the SUV may have been traveling very fast when it left the road and smashed into the bridge support.

The fatal Arlington accident is still under investigation by local authorities.

This is a terrible tragedy and we would like to extend our thoughts and condolences to the both of the victim’s family and friends during this difficult time.
