A 54-year-old woman was killed and a man injured after two vehicles collided at a south Arlington intersection on Friday.
Officers responded to the major accident at South Cooper Street and Eden Road shortly after 12:30 p.m. A 2025 Mercedes-Benz C300 was headed north on Cooper when it collided with a 2022 Hyundai Tucson that was apparently trying to make a left turn from the southbound turn lane, police said.
The Hyundai’s driver required emergency medical attention and later died at a hospital, according to police. The driver of the Mercedes was also injured and taken to a hospital for treatment.
Investigators think speed may have played a role in the fatal crash, police said. They’re also trying to determine if the Mercedes was involved in a street race prior to the accident.
The Tarrant County Medical Examiner will publicly identify the woman who died. Detectives are still reviewing evidence and talking with the involved parties as part of the ongoing investigation, police said.
