involved<\/a> a silver Dodge Avenger, a white passenger sedan, an unoccupied vehicle parked on the shoulder, and an 18-wheeler.<\/p>\nA preliminary investigation found that the Dodge Avenger was traveling at a high rate of speed when it struck the rear of the white sedan, according to police. The impact sent the sedan off the roadway, where it struck the parked vehicle.<\/p>\n
The Dodge became disabled after the first collision and stopped across multiple lanes of traffic. Police said the westbound 18-wheeler could not stop in time and struck the Dodge, ejecting its passenger.<\/p>\n
Paramedics took both occupants of the Dodge to local hospitals. The passenger later died, police said.<\/p>\n
Officials have not publicly identified the passenger or the driver of the Dodge.<\/p>\n
The driver of the white sedan suffered minor injuries and was taken to a hospital. The driver of the 18-wheeler was not injured, according to police.<\/p>\n
Police said the preliminary investigation suggests intoxication may have contributed to the crash.<\/p>\n
Westbound I-30 shut down temporarily while officers investigated and crews cleared the roadway.<\/p>\n
The Tarrant County Medical Examiner\u2019s Office will release the passenger\u2019s identity after relatives have been notified.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Saturday morning crash on Interstate 30 in Arlington killed one passenger and injured two others after a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":309162,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[7012,150,152,151,7199,3680,111660,520,111659,21084,16272,111658,295,122,24749],"class_list":["post-309161","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arlington","tag-18-wheeler","tag-arlington","tag-arlington-headlines","tag-arlington-news","tag-arlington-police-department","tag-arlington-texas","tag-dodge-avenger","tag-fatal-crash","tag-four-vehicle-crash","tag-i-30","tag-interstate-30","tag-intoxicated-driving","tag-intoxication","tag-tarrant-county","tag-traffic-crash"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/309161","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=309161"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/309161\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/309162"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=309161"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=309161"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=309161"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
