Medical examiner’s office releases names of men who died in truck in the Trinity River
The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office on Saturday released the names of two men who were found dead inside a pickup truck in the Trinity River in Fort Worth.
Raymundo Luna, 23, and Raul Torres Reyna, 22, died about 2:30 a.m. Friday underneath the North University Bridge in the 400 block of North University Drive, the medical examiner’s office said.
Witnesses reported that they believed the truck went into the water as it raced, officer Tracy Carter, a Fort Worth police spokesman, said.
A passerby saw the truck leave the North University Bridge and called 911, WFAA-TV reported.
Luna and Torres Reyna lived in Fort Worth, according to the medical examiner’s office, which did not release the cause or manner of their deaths.
When firefighters arrived, a man was in the river trying to find the truck, Mike Drivdahl, a Fort Worth Fire Department spokesman, said. They pulled him from the water, and he was exhausted and experiencing hypothermic conditions.
Roughly an hour and a half after firefighters arrived, a tow truck with a crane pulled the truck from the water, Drivdahl said.
