Arlington Police are investigating a deadly crash that killed a child just after midnight Wednesday.<\/p>\n
A car and a dump truck were traveling westbound on Interstate 20 near the US Highway 287 interchange when they collided.<\/p>\n
Investigators believe the driver of the car became distracted, causing them to take their eyes off the road. The car then crashed into the rear end of the dump truck.<\/p>\n
The driver of the car had two children in the backseat. All three were transported to local hospitals, where one of the children, identified only as a 6-year-old girl, later died.<\/p>\n
Police said the child who died was in a car seat, but that she may not have been restrained at the time of the crash.<\/p>\n
The drivers of both the car and the truck, as well as the other child, are expected to be OK.<\/p>\n
The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office will release the child’s identity after the family has been notified.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Arlington Police are investigating a deadly crash that killed a child just after midnight Wednesday.
