Two Dead in Kennedale Crash After Car Fled From Police
At around 2:35 pm this afternoon, an off-duty Fort Worth officer driving eastbound on I20 witnessed someone in a vehicle shooting at another vehicle.
On-duty officers were able to catch up to the suspect vehicle at Mansfield Highway and I20. When officers attempted to pull the vehicle over, the driver fled southbound on W. Kennedale Parkway at a high rate of speed when the vehicle collided with a commercial truck at the intersection of W. Kennedale Parkway and Dick Price Road.
The collision caused the suspect vehicle to overturn. Two individuals inside the suspect vehicle were pronounced deceased on the scene. A third was transported to the hospital with injuries.
During the course of the investigation, it was determined the suspect vehicle had been reported stolen out of Grand Prairie, Texas and officers were able to locate two firearms that were ejected from the vehicle during the rollover.
A secondary officer responding to the initial pursuit was involved in a minor accident and was transported to a local hospital for precautionary measures.
No victims from the original shooting on the interstate have been reported.
