An early morning tragedy in Fort Worth's Western Hills North neighborhood saw the loss of one life in a single-vehicle crash. DFW Scanner reported that last Saturday, Fort Worth Fire/EMS and police were called to the scene of a major accident at around 5:03 a.m. in the 3000 block of Las Vegas Trail. Officials discovered a vehicle that had apparently steered off the road to violently impact a tree.
First responders found the car with only one occupant who, despite their efforts to quickly administer aid, was pronounced dead at the site of the wreckage. The identity of the victim has not been released, awaiting notification of the next of kin. The cause of the accident remains to be determined, as Fort Worth Police are continuing to investigate thoroughly to ascertain all contributing factors.
According to the Irving Journal, there were no other vehicles involved in this fatal incident. The quiet predawn hours were disrupted by the sound of sirens and the grim work of emergency crews who attended the solemn scene. This accident adds to the ongoing statistics of roadway fatalities that plague our community roads.
