Haltom City, Texas man Dies in Arlington Truck Accident
Paul Smith, 36, of Haltom City, Texas died in a motor vehicle accident Sunday morning around 6:30 a.m. on I-30 in Arlington, Texas.
Two other cars were involved in an initial wreck when, according to the Arlington Police Department, subsequent crashes occurred because of slick conditions on the westbound side of I-30. In all, the accident involved five cars, two 18-wheelers, and two pickup trucks. The westbound lanes of Interstate 30 were closed for several hours while authorities investigated the cause of the multi-vehicle crash.
My sincere condolences go out to Mr. Smith’s family. Undoubtedly, they are going through an extremely difficult time now as Mr. Smith was a young man who apparently fell victim to a weather-related accident. This winter we have had an incredible amount of rain, snow and ice. It appeared to the Arlington Police Department investigators that ice on a highway was a factor in causing the accident. It is the sixth traffic fatality in Arlington this year.
