Three people were killed and three others were hurt in a major accident in Denton County on Friday night.

Argyle police said at least six vehicles were involved in the crash just before 7 p.m. on Interstate 35W at Crawford Road.

"At least two individuals had CPR performed on them, and a total of six individuals were transported by five ambulances to Medical City and to Presbyterian in Denton," said Argyle Police Chief Emmitt Jackson. "At this time, we have confirmed at least three fatalities and do not know the condition of the other individuals who were transported."

The Denton County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the three victims who died as 65-year-old Elia Orozco, 69-year-old Odilla Orozco, and 63-year-old Gladis Orozco.
