Truck driver killed in Grapevine crash

At approximately 5:30 a.m. on Saturday, July 6, 2024, the driver of a tractor trailer was taking the exit from northbound SH-121 to eastbound I-635 when he failed to make the curve. The truck crashed into the guardrail on the left side of the road, then overturned in the median.

The driver, a 62-year-old man from Plano, was already deceased when officers arrived on scene.

“It appears both speed and a flat tire contributed to the crash,” says Grapevine PD.

The eastbound exit onto I-635 was shut down for approximately six hours, and reopened just before noon.
