A devastating multi-vehicle collision resulted in three fatalities and left three others injured last Friday in Denton County. According to FOX 4 News, the incident happened just before 7 p.m. on I-35W at Crawford Road. Argyle Police reported the involvement of at least six vehicles. Due to the severity of the crash, northbound traffic was halted, backing up for hours as the investigation unfolded.
The identities of the victims had not been released in the immediate aftermath of the fray, with officials working to notify next of kin and carry out a thorough investigation into the tragic event. As police pieced together the chaos left in the wake of twisted metal and shattered glass, three people were confirmed dead at the scene. Simultaneously, emergency responders ferried the injured to hospitals, cutting through the silence of a suddenly somber roadway with the urgency of sirens.
Argyle Police Chief Emmitt Jackson relayed that first responders were dispatched quickly after the crash was reported, according to The Cross Timbers Gazette. The northbound lanes were shuttered as efforts commenced to manage consequences no driver dared imagine, the transformation of a routine route into a site of loss and lamentation.
