ARLINGTON, Texas — A 68-year-old man was killed in an auto-pedestrian crash on Tuesday night, according to the Arlington Police Department.
Officers responded to the intersection of S. Cooper Street and Lovers Lane at approximately 9:00 p.m. on April 21, 2026, after reports that a 2015 Toyota Avalon struck a pedestrian in the roadway. Upon arrival, they found the man unresponsive on the ground. He was transported to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced dead from his injuries.
The driver of the Avalon stopped immediately, remained at the scene, and cooperated with the investigation. No criminal charges have been filed against the driver at this time, the department stated.
Accident investigators determined that the pedestrian was attempting to cross Cooper Street from west to east when he was hit by the northbound Avalon. The area lacked a designated crossing, and the pedestrian was not wearing bright or reflective clothing, making him difficult to see, according to the driver.
The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office will release the name of the deceased. The Arlington Police Department reminds pedestrians to use designated crosswalks or traffic signals, especially at night when visibility is reduced.
