Fort Worth, TX — One person was killed and another was injured in an accident in Fort Worth, Texas, on Friday, September 19, 2014. The accident occurred on the ramp from southbound Highway 360 to eastbound Highway 183 early in the morning.
The driver of a Chrysler sedan lost control of his vehicle when and drove up an embankment, crashing into a bridge which sheared the vehicle’s roof off. As the car came down it collided with a Toyota sedan. While the driver of the Toyota wasn’t responsible for the accident, police took the driver into custody on suspicion of drunk driving.
A passenger sitting in the backseat of the Chrysler was killed, while emergency workers took the driver to Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas in critical condition.
Police are still trying to figure out if alcohol was a factor in the crash.
Scene of the Accident
Commentary
After reading about this accident in the news, I’m still left asking about what happened here. The Chrysler that crashed into the bridge also crashed into a Toyota. Was that before or after the collision with the bridge? Police ended up taking the driver of the Toyota into custody because they thought he may have been driving while intoxicated. Is it possible that alcohol was involved in this accident, too? So far, police haven’t said. But given the severity of the crash and the time at which it happened, I’d say it’s a possibility that at least deserves a second look.
