One Killed in Arlington Two-Vehicle Crash on Interstate 30

Arlington, Texas (September 7, 2021) – According to the police, one person was killed Sunday night in a two-vehicle crash in Arlington.

The fatal crash happened just before 11:00 p.m., September 5, in the 3500 block of East Interstate 30.

Police said a car was traveling westbound on I-30 when it became disabled due to engine trouble. The car remained in the inside lane of traffic due to construction in the area with no shoulder available.

The car driver activated the car’s emergency hazard lights and remained seated inside.

A second westbound car then rear-ended the disabled car.

The driver of the second car was taken to the hospital, where he later died.

Investigators said speed and intoxication might have been factors in the crash.

The crash remains under investigation.
