From a Texas personal injury attorney’s perspective, this is an unimaginable loss, made even more heartbreaking because an infant and a toddler were also in the vehicle and were taken to the hospital. Current reporting says the woman who died was 39 years old, that the crash happened just after 12:30 a.m. on North Freeway near Westport Parkway in Fort Worth, and that police believe the silver Buick swerved off the roadway, traveled through a grassy median, went over a wall, and crashed below. Even though this is being described as a single-vehicle crash, that does not automatically answer the legal questions. A full investigation still needs to determine why the vehicle left the roadway in the first place, including whether distraction, fatigue, impairment, a medical emergency, a mechanical failure, or some roadway condition played a role. For the children and the family, preserving the vehicle, crash data, scene evidence, and medical records will be critical to understanding exactly what happened and whether any civil claim may exist. In cases of wrongful death, families can seek compensation for their loss and related expenses. If you have lost a loved one in an accident, it’s important to consult with an experienced attorney to understand your rights and explore your options for legal recourse.

According to reports, Cresson Fire Department, Parker County Hospital District EMS, and DPS troopers responded around 11:30 a.m. to a major crash on northbound Highway 377 near Goforth Road.

The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office later identified the deceased as a 95-year-old man. According to scanner traffic, a second person suffered serious injuries and was transported to a local hospital. The cause of the crash remains under investigation.

Crash evidence can disappear quickly. Black box data, vehicle damage, roadway measurements, crash scene photos, surveillance footage, dashcam video, witness statements, police reports, medical records, and crash reconstruction evidence may all be critical to determining what happened and who may be responsible. If your loved one was killed or seriously injured in a Cresson car accident, Highway 377 crash, Parker County collision, or Texas wrongful death case involving a pickup truck wreck, your family may have the right to seek justice and pursue compensation for funeral expenses, medical bills, lost financial support, mental anguish, loss of companionship, and other damages.

Electrocution Incident Near Benbrook Lake
A deadly electrocution incident near Benbrook Lake claimed the life of one person and injured another on Friday, May 22, 2026. According to WFAA, emergency crews responded to a home in the 9100 block of Benview Court after reports that two people had been electrocuted. Officials said an adult man was taken to a hospital in critical condition but later died from his injuries. An adult woman was also transported to a hospital with injuries. Early reports indicated the incident involved a power source near the property, and investigators are working to determine exactly how the electrocution occurred. Fatal electrocution incidents require a thorough investigation, especially when electrical hazards exist near a home, backyard, utility line, or work area. A Texas wrongful death lawyer can review whether exposed wiring, unsafe electrical equipment, improper grounding, code violations, negligent maintenance, utility company issues, or dangerous property conditions contributed to the death. Electrical injury evidence can disappear quickly. Utility records, inspection reports, electrical maintenance records, property photos, power shutoff records, witness statements, 911 calls, medical records, police reports, and investigator findings may all be critical to determining what happened and who may be responsible. If your loved one was killed or injured in a Benbrook electrocution incident, Tarrant County electrical accident, Benview Court injury, or Texas wrongful death case involving unsafe property conditions, your family may have the right to seek justice and pursue compensation for funeral expenses, medical bills, lost financial support, mental anguish, loss of companionship, and other damages.

Family Seeks Police Footage After Fatal Pursuit
The family of a Fort Worth man who died during a police pursuit is demanding answers and asking to see the full police body camera footage months after the fatal crash. According to WFAA, 28-year-old Kendrick Gipson, a father of six, died after a police pursuit in Fort Worth on March 2, 2026. Police said officers were investigating a vehicle believed to be connected to an aggravated kidnapping when they initiated a traffic stop, and the driver fled northbound on I-35W before exiting at Pharr Street and crashing into a concrete pillar. Gipson’s family has publicly questioned the circumstances surrounding the pursuit and said they want to see the full police bodycam and dashcam footage. WFAA reported that the crash happened after police attempted to stop the vehicle, and the investigation remains ongoing. Fatal police pursuit crashes require a thorough investigation. A Texas wrongful death lawyer can review whether officers followed department pursuit policies, whether the pursuit was justified, whether lights and sirens were used, whether traffic conditions created unnecessary danger, and whether speed, roadway design, visibility, or another preventable factor contributed to the crash. Evidence can disappear quickly after a police chase crash. Bodycam footage, dashcam footage, radio traffic, GPS data, pursuit policy records, crash scene photos, vehicle damage, black box data, witness statements, police reports, and crash reconstruction evidence may all be critical to determining what happened and who may be responsible. If your loved one was killed in a Fort Worth police pursuit, I-35W crash, Pharr Street collision, or Texas wrongful death case involving a fleeing driver or law enforcement chase, your family may have the right to seek justice and pursue compensation for funeral expenses, lost financial support, mental anguish, loss of companionship, and other damages.
