Arlington, TX – Early Saturday morning, a devastating multi-vehicle crash in Arlington claimed the life of one person and left several others in critical condition. The incident occurred around 1 a.m. in the 300 block of N. Watson Road near Division Street. Police were dispatched to the scene following reports of pedestrians being struck.
Upon arrival, officers found two people lying in the street after being hit by a vehicle, and a woman inside a car involved in the crash. According to investigators, the incident began when a 42-year-old woman lost control of her 2016 Hyundai Veloster while driving along N. Watson Road, causing her to veer off the road. She contacted family members for assistance.
Tyler White, 31, arrived in his 2004 GMC SUV to help. He activated his hazard lights and pulled over in the far-right lane.

The BMW’s driver, a 34-year-old woman, was also extricated from her vehicle and taken to a nearby hospital, where she is in critical condition.
