A man was killed on State Highway 360 in Arlington early Tuesday when his car drifted into a construction zone and crashed into the back of a crane truck, police said.
The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the driver as Joshua Dashun Legras, 18, of Fort Worth.
Arlington officers responded around 2:25 a.m. to a crash on northbound State Highway 360 near the Abram Street exit, according to Brenda Van Sickle, a police spokesperson. They observed two lanes were closed off for construction work and two were open, she said in an email.
A vehicle left the open lanes and went into the construction zone, where it hit the back of a crane truck, she said.
The driver was pronounced dead on the scene, she said.
All lanes of northbound State Highway 360 were closed as investigators inspected the scene, with traffic being diverted onto a service road, Van Sickle said. Lanes were re-opened by 8 a.m.
Police are investigating what caused the driver to move into the closed lanes.
