Arlington Police arrest 3 suspects in fatal fiery DWI crash
ARLINGTON, Texas - Three men have been arrested in connection to a fiery fatal crash that killed a 22-year-old man Saturday evening on I-20 in Arlington.
Fatal fiery crash
The backstory:
On Saturday, March 22, 2025, just after 7:30 p.m., Arlington police officers were called to the eastbound lanes I-20 near Bowen Road to investigate a crash involving a pickup truck and a car.
When they arrived at the scene, the car, a 1997 Mitsubishi 3000 GT, was engulfed in flames. After Arlington firefighters extinguished the fire, they found the remains of the 22-year-old man inside.
The investigation revealed the Mitsubishi was stopped along the shoulder of the highway when the pickup, a 2004 Ford F-150, drifted off the main lanes and slammed into the back of the car, police say. The impact of the crash caused the Mitsubishi to hit a concrete wall, which ignighted the fire.
Witnesses told officers they saw three men exit the pickup truck after the crash and run from the scene. Officers found all three individuals nearby and detained them.
