A Good Samaritan who stopped to help after a crash on Interstate 35W in Fort Worth was struck and killed by another vehicle early Friday morning, prompting a temporary closure of the freeway.<\/p>\n

The incident happened around 2:30 a.m. on I-35W near Felix Street<\/a>, south of downtown Fort Worth.<\/p>\n

According to Fort Worth police, a major collision occurred on the highway, and another driver stopped to assist those involved. A passing vehicle then struck and killed the person who had stopped to help.<\/p>\n

Police said one person involved in the initial crash was taken to a hospital.<\/p>\n

Authorities shut down<\/a> all lanes of I-35W between Seminary Drive and Interstate 20 while officers investigated the deadly crash. The closure lasted roughly four hours and caused significant traffic delays in the area.<\/p>\n

The northbound lanes reopened around 6:20 a.m., followed by the southbound lanes about 20 minutes later. TxDOT issued<\/a> alerts to motorists as the closure remained in place.<\/p>\n

Police have not released the identity of the person who was killed. Authorities also have not said whether they arrested the driver of the vehicle that struck the Good Samaritan.<\/p>\n

The investigation remains ongoing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One of the vehicles involved in crash on I-35early Friday | Image by Arthur Martinez – Go Follow…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":440189,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[116,118,117,152366,142118,65736,50791],"class_list":["post-440188","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fort-worth","tag-fort-worth","tag-fort-worth-headlines","tag-fort-worth-news","tag-good-samaritan-killed","tag-i-20","tag-i-35w-crash","tag-seminary-drive"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/440188","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=440188"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/440188\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/440189"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=440188"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=440188"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=440188"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
