ARLINGTON, Texas - Arlington police are searching for two people who fled the scene after being involved in a wreck that left a 39-year-old man dead Friday night.
The crash happened just after 9:15 p.m., near the intersection of W. Arkansas Lane and S. Cooper Street.

Officers, adhering to a no-chase policy, contacted Arlington police.
Witnesses reported seeing the driver of the Buick run several red lights while going faster than 100 mph, before crashing into a vehicle. That caused the other vehicle to crash into two unoccupied vehicles.
