Two brothers who were students at Boswell High School were killed in a car crash in northwest Fort Worth near Saginaw on Wednesday afternoon.
The collision involving a car and a pickup truck was reported about 4:30 p.m. near the intersection of West Bailey Boswell Road and Twin Mills Boulevard, about a mile away from the school.
Two people were reported dead on scene and three sustained injuries, according to MedStar. At least two people were taken to a local hospital.
In a message to parents, Boswell High Principal Nika Davis identified the students who died as senior Isaiah Lopez and his brother Elijah Lopez, a freshman. The school is in the Eagle Mountain-Saginaw school district.
“Our school community is in shock with the loss of Isaiah and Elijah,” Davis wrote. “As we all work to process this startling news, I want to assure you that our focus is on the emotional well-being of our school community. The loss of any life is a tragic situation, especially when the loss is a classmate or a peer.”
“Our district crisis counselors will be offering support to the family, and they will be available on campus to provide the emotional support our students and colleagues will need in the coming days and weeks,” the email said.
Details on what caused the crash weren’t immediately available. Fort Worth police are investigating.
