The Arlington Police Department is investigating the circumstances surrounding a major accident that occurred last night (Friday) around 8:45pm.

Arlington Fire Dept., EMS, and Police officers responded to a major crash just after 8:45pm at Six Flags Drive and Highway 360. The accident involved an overturned pickup truck.

Investigators believe the driver was traveling eastbound on Six Flags Drive and preparing to take the on-ramp for eastbound I30 towards Dallas. The driver lost control of the vehicle and it left the roadway and overturned several times. Those familiar with the area know the ramps for I30 from Six Flags drive was sharp and may be tricky to navigate.

As the vehicle overturned, one of the three occupants inside the vehicle was ejected. This person was taken by EMS to a local hospital, but died.

The driver was arrested for Intoxication Manslaughter after receiving minor treatment at a local hospital. He remains in the Arlington jail.

Detectives are looking into the possibility that another motorist may have been involved in a road rage incident with the suspect’s vehicle prior to the crash. If you saw something that may be related to this crash, call the Arlington Police Department.

Multiple agencies are on scene of a stalled 18 wheeler that has partially parked off the right side of the roadway along westbound I20 at Ranger Hill.

Reports indicate the truck had engines problems going up the hill, pulled off to the side of the road, and is now in risk of overturning off the roadway.

Law enforcement and fire personnel are on the scene. All westbound lanes will be closed at some point in the next few hours to properly upright the truck. Westbound lanes are open at this time, but very congested as a result of this situation, and will only get worse when a full closure begins.

If you have family or friends traveling westbound through Ranger Hill today, let them know if this traffic alert!

This incident occurs less than 24 hours after a fatal crash was reported on I20 west of Ranger Hill last night. Travel safe, please!

Multiple cities and fire departments are responding to outside smells of natural gas. The area affected is from the Texas Motor Speedway all the way East/NE to Flower Mound and Highland Village. Other areas may be experiencing this gas smell as well. The smell extends over a very large area. Atmos and CoServ gas companies are in the field investigating as well. Information only. We will update if more info is obtained.

UPDATE: Atmos is working on pressure testing a gas line causing a smell within a 10 mile radius in Denton County. They are filling and then releasing gas from the line to test the pressures.
