Arlington Car Crash Leaves 2 Dead

ARLINGTON (CBS 11 / TXA 21) ― A fatal crash killed two people and left a mangled mess in Arlington.

The accident happened late Sunday night near the intersection of I-20 and Cooper Street.

According to police, a small silver Toyota Camry was headed eastbound on I-20 when the driver decided, at the last second, to take the Cooper Street exit. That decision proved fatal for the Camry's driver and passenger when an 18-wheeler truck slammed into the vehicle.

The Camry was knocked about 50 yards as debris was sent all over the highway. The two men inside were killed instantly. Several lanes along I-20 were closed for three hours.

The Tarrant County Medical Examiner identified one of the men as a 23-year-old from Gretna, Louisiana, located outside of New Orleans. The second man has not yet been identified.

The truck driver was taken to a local hospital, but is expected to be okay. At this point, police said he is not going to face any charges.

Futher details of the accident are still under investigation.
