Adult, Two Children Killed in Denton Multi-Vehicle Crash on Highway 380

Denton, Texas (May 24, 2021) – Three people, including two children, were killed, and three others were injured in a head-on collision Sunday morning in Denton, according to the police.

The fatal crash was reported just before 11:45 a.m., May 23, on westbound Highway 380 near Rockhill Road.

Police said a vehicle crossed the center line into oncoming traffic and crashed head-on into another vehicle.

Two other vehicles were also involved in the collision.

An adult was pronounced dead at the scene.

Five other people, including a 12-month-old and a 5-year-old, were taken to the hospital, where the children later died. Two adults were listed in critical condition, while another adult was listed in stable condition.

The crash closed the highway between Fishtrap Road and Mayhill Road for several hours.

The crash remains under investigation.

“When a person has suffered a grave personal injury in an accident due to someone else’s negligence, the most overwhelming emotion they feel is a sense of injustice. They often ask how such a life-altering event could have happened to them,” attorney Joel A. Gordon said. “The next question usually is, who can help me?” Mr. Gordon added.

A legal advocate can represent an injury victim or the family of a deceased victim. The attorney will file a claim on behalf of the victim and will have the responsibility of citing existing codes, laws, or statutes which were violated.
