Tarrant County local officials are investigating a fatal car accident on Interstate 20 which caused the death of three people, late Thursday.
According to initial reports, the incident took place at around 11:00 p.m. on eastbound I-20 under the South Center Street overpass. A vehicle was seen traveling along I-20 when, for yet unknown reasons, it drifted onto the shoulder and crashed into a parked car under the bridge. The impact of the crash pushed the second vehicle onto the path of another car, striking it in the process. Police said that all three vehicles burst into flames as a result.
Three people were pronounced dead by emergency crews who responded to the scene. Two of the victims were identified as Patrick Beck, 55, and Leah Beck, 23. They were both residents of Grand Prairie.
Investigators are still determining the cause of the accident.
We offer our sincerest sympathies to the family and friends of the deceased victim. May God grant you the strength to go through this difficult time in your life. We believe that the Arlinton Police will do everything to bring those responsible to justice.
In the United States, Texas is one of the leading states in the number of traffic collisions involving fatalities. In fact, in 2015 alone, the state recorded more than 1,300 deaths caused by reckless drivers. Despite the government’s aggressive efforts to keep these cases down, Texas remains the worst state in the country for alcohol-involved car crashes.
