FORT WORTH — A second man died Monday night from injuries he suffered when a sport utility vehicle hit him and another man during the weekend as they put gas in a van on an access road, the Tarrant County medical examiner’s office reported.

The victim, identified as Adrian Boortz, 20, of Fort Worth, was pronounced dead shortly before 7 p.m. Monday at Texas Health Fort Worth hospital.

On Sunday night, Floyd Boortz, 78, died at the same Fort Worth hospital.

The accident happened about 10 p.m. Sunday on the westbound service road of Interstate 30 near the Cherry Lane exit.

A van with Floyd Boortz, Adrian Boortz, a 20-year-old female and a 2-year-old boy ran out of gas on the service road, according to the police reports released Monday.

A motorist in a Dodge sedan stopped to help and parked in front of the van, the report states.

As the two men stood by their van, putting gas in the tank, a Kia sport utility vehicle driven by a 35-year-old man exited the freeway, hit the two men and struck the van with the woman and toddler inside. The Kia then smashed into the Dodge car, police said.

The 20-year-old woman was not injured and the toddler was taken to Cook Children’s Medical Center in Fort Worth for precautionary reasons.

The drivers of the Dodge and the Kia were not injured, police said.

According to the police reports, neither drugs nor alcohol were factors in the crash.
