The crash is about half a mile away from an incident that led to the death of longtime Fort Worth Police Sergeant Billy Randolph.
Randolph was working the scene of an 18-wheeler crash near I-35W and Sycamore School Road on Monday morning.
Police say an accused drunken driver went the wrong way up an exit ramp and struck Randolph.
The 29-year Fort Worth Police veteran was declared dead at the hospital later that morning.
Police believe the driver, 25-year-old De Aujalae Evans, was drunk at the time of the crash.
She is charged with intoxication manslaughter causing the death of a peace officer.
