On Tuesday, February 28, 2023, at approximately 9:09pm, the Arlington Police Department responded to the I-20 / Highway 360 interchange to investigate a two-vehicle wreck.
When officers arrived on scene, they located a 2008 Saturn Vue that was overturned in a grassy area below one of the connector bridges. The driver of the Vue, a 75-year-old woman, was pronounced deceased at the scene.
The wreck occurred on the bridge that connects eastbound I-20 to northbound Hwy 360. Based on witness statements and other evidence at the scene, investigators believe the driver of the Vue was traveling in the left lane when she initially took the exit ramp to the connector. Then, while traveling across the bridge, she made an unsafe lane change and struck the front end of a 2012 Honda Accord that was traveling in the right lane.
The impact of the collision caused the Accord to spin out and the driver of the Vue to lose control of her SUV, hit the concrete wall of the connector bridge, and go over the side.
The driver of the Accord was not injured. He remained on scene and was cooperative with investigators. He is not facing any charges in connection to this incident.
The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office will identify the deceased once next of kin have been notified.
