NEWS RELEASE
The Grapevine Police Department is investigating a deadly crash that shut down westbound lanes of SH-114 overnight for approximately five hours.
Just after 11:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 18, 2023, the driver of a sedan veered right on SH-114 and struck a light pole. The driver overcorrected and ended up crossing several lanes of traffic in front of a pickup. The pickup t-boned the sedan.
Both vehicles were stopped on the highway as witnesses called 9-1-1. The driver of the sedan was trapped behind the wheel.
Grapevine Police tried to free the driver and render aid, but the 30-year-old man was pronounced deceased by Grapevine Fire paramedics a short time later. The driver of the pickup was transported to the hospital with non life-threatening injuries.
Grapevine Police shut down westbound lanes of SH-114 for approximately five hours between William D. Tate and Texan Trail while a crash team investigated the accident. Officers from the Irving Police Department and DFW Airport Police Department assisted with the closure.
The medical examiner will identify the driver of the sedan after notifying next of kin.
