ARLINGTON, Texas — Arlington police are investigating a fatal crash that killed a woman on Friday.
Officers responded around 12:34 p.m. March 6 to the intersection of S. Cooper Street and Eden Road after receiving reports of a major crash involving two vehicles.
They found a 54-year-old woman who needed emergency medical attention. She was transported to a local hospital where she died, police said.
Arlington police said in a press release that a preliminary investigation found the crash happened when a 2025 Mercedes Benz C30 traveling north on S. Cooper Street collided with a 2022 Hyundai Tucson, which the woman was driving. Investigators believe the Hyundai was traveling south and was in the turn lane attempting to turn left when the collision happened.
The driver of the Mercedes was also injured and taken to a local hospital for treatment, according to the release.
Investigators believe speed may have played a role in the collision and are looking into whether the driver of the Mercedes was engaged in street racing before the crash, according to the release.
The identities of the drivers have not been released. The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office will release the identity of the deceased once next of kin have been notified.
