Man walking along Highway 360 entrance ramp fatally struck by vehicle in Arlington
The Arlington Police Department is investigating a fatal auto-pedestrian crash that occurred early Saturday morning along Highway 360.
On March 7, 2026, at approximately 5:09 a.m., officers responded to the northbound lanes of Highway 360 near E. Avenue J after receiving reports of a pedestrian who had been struck by a vehicle. When officers arrived on scene, they located a male pedestrian trapped underneath a small truck.
Preliminary investigation indicates the man had been traveling northbound on Highway 360 in a Dodge Durango with a female passenger before stopping his vehicle along the highway. After stopping, the man exited the vehicle and began walking with his female passenger in the lane of travel along the Highway 360 entrance ramp.
During this time, the man was struck by a vehicle that was traveling northbound on the frontage road and entering the on-ramp to Highway 360.
The male pedestrian was pronounced deceased at the scene.
The driver of the vehicle stopped immediately and cooperated with investigators; that driver is not facing any criminal charges at this time.
The female who had been traveling with the male pedestrian in the Dodge Durango and walking with him on the highway was not injured during the crash.
The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office will release the identity of the deceased once next of kin have been notified.
The Arlington Police Department reminds the public that pedestrians should take every precaution to avoid walking on highways, including shoulder areas. Vehicles traveling at highway speeds can require significant distances to slow down or come to a complete stop. Drivers who must stop along a highway should exit the roadway as soon as possible and, if safe to do so, remain inside their vehicle. If it becomes necessary to exit, individuals should do so with extreme caution and only in safe areas away from moving traffic.
