Pedestrian hit by multiple vehicles in fatal crash on Texas 360 in Arlington
A fatal crash involving a pedestrian closed lanes of Texas 360 near Interstate 30 in Arlington for several hours Friday morning, according to police.
Officers responded to the southbound lanes of Texas 360 shortly after 5 a.m. after the driver of a Ford Ranger reported possibly hitting a person. They found a man’s body on the road, according to police. The pedestrian was pronounced dead at the scene.
It’s not clear why the man was on the highway, police said. Investigators believe several vehicles ran over him after he was initially hit. The 911 caller and other drivers who thought they might have hit the pedestrian stayed at the scene, and police don’t anticipate filing any criminal charges.
Southbound Highway 360 was shut down at Avenue J, and the east and westbound exits from I-30 were closed, Arlington police said about 6 a.m. The lanes were closed to traffic during the morning commute time, and remained closed until around 10:40 a.m.
The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office will publicly identify the pedestrian and officially determine his manner and cause of death.
Arlington police remind the public to always use designated crossings and sidewalks when they cross the highway.
“Pedestrians should NEVER enter highway lanes,” officials said in an emailed news release. “Due to the speeds vehicles are traveling and the distance they require to brake, attempting to cross a highway is extremely dangerous and can lead to a catastrophic collision.”
