On Monday, June 12, 2023, at approximately 10:01 a.m., the Arlington Police Department responded to a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of 3000 E. Pioneer Parkway and 2200 Forum Dr.
Witnesses told officers the driver of a 2013 Chevrolet Camaro was traveling eastbound on E. Pioneer Parkway while an 18 wheeled truck and trailer were crossing the intersection southbound onto Forum Dr. The driver of the Camaro changed lanes toward the center median and struck the rear portion of the loaded 53-foot trailer just behind the rear axles. The impact of the crash caused the Camaro to become lodged under the rear portion of the trailer.
The driver of the Chevrolet Camaro was pronounced deceased at the scene. The driver of the 18-wheeler was not injured and stayed at the scene to speak with officers and the Crash Investigator.
The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office will identify the deceased once next of kin have been notified.
Speed is believed to be a factor in the crash.
