On Sunday, April 2, 2023, at approximately 2:15 a.m., the Arlington Police Department responded to a three-vehicle wreck in the 5400 block of S. Cooper Street.
Investigators believe a 2013 Cadillac CTS and a 2018 Mercedes-Benz E-Class that were traveling northbound along Cooper Street collided, causing the driver of the Cadillac to lose control of his vehicle, cross the center median, and crash into a 2004 Ford Excursion that was traveling southbound.
The driver of the Cadillac was transported to a local hospital where he was later pronounced deceased from his injuries. The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office has identified him as 29-year-old Xavier Killingsworth of Fort Worth.
The driver of the Excursion was transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The driver of the Mercedes was not seriously injured.
Based on evidence recovered at the scene and witness statements, investigators have not ruled out alcohol or speed as factors in the crash. The investigation is ongoing.
