ARLINGTON, Texas — A 54-year-old woman has died following a two-vehicle collision at the intersection of S. Cooper Street and Eden Road, according to the Arlington Police Department.
The crash occurred on Friday, March 6, 2026, at approximately 12:34 p.m. Officers responded to reports of a major crash and found the driver of a 2022 Hyundai Tucson in need of emergency medical attention. She was transported to a local hospital, where she was later pronounced deceased.
Preliminary investigations suggest the collision happened when a 2025 Mercedes-Benz C30 traveling northbound on S. Cooper Street collided with the Hyundai Tucson, which was traveling southbound and attempting a left turn. The driver of the Mercedes-Benz, an adult male, was also injured and taken to a hospital for treatment.
Investigators believe speed may have contributed to the crash and are examining whether the Mercedes-Benz driver was engaged in street racing prior to the incident. The investigation is ongoing as detectives continue to gather evidence and interview those involved.
The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office will release the identity of the deceased once next of kin have been notified, stated the Arlington Police Department.
