Driver Dead After Two-Vehicle Crash on U.S. 75 at Midpark Road, by the High Five
Dallas police say officers answered a major accident around 4 p.m. Monday where North Central Expressway meets Midpark Road — one driver pronounced dead at the scene, the LBJ-to-northbound ramp closed for a time, and the investigation still open Monday night.
DALLAS — A driver is dead after a two-vehicle crash Monday afternoon on North Central Expressway at Midpark Road, next to the High Five interchange, Dallas police said. Officers responded to the major accident at the intersection of U.S. 75 and Midpark Road at around 4 p.m., at the front edge of the evening rush.
A preliminary investigation determined that two vehicles crashed, police said. SKY 4 captured images of a vehicle in a ditch near the High Five, and NBC DFW reported a car overturned beneath an elevated highway ramp. The ramp from LBJ Freeway to northbound U.S. 75 was closed for a period while first responders worked the scene, and the crash caused significant traffic delays through the evening rush hour.
Dallas Fire-Rescue pronounced one driver deceased at the scene. The other driver remained on scene with police, and no arrests have been made, police said. The department's investigation remains ongoing, and police released no name and no cause Monday night — this desk will update the file when Dallas Police release more.
