Fort Worth Accident Kills One

FORT WORTH - A 21-year-old Fort Worth man died early this morning in a single-vehicle rollover wreck in northwest Fort Worth.

An off-duty officer passing near the area about 2:15 a.m. spotted the wrecked Chrysler car and alerted police. Inside, officers found the body of Jesse Garcia.

Sgt. Cynthia Blake, supervisor of the traffic investigation unit, said it appears Garcia had been traveling too fast while exiting N.W. Loop 820 onto Marine Creek Parkway. She said the Chrysler apparently swerved off the exit ramp and began to roll, landing upright in a concrete drainage culvert.

Blake said firefighters had to extricate Garcia's body from the car. He was pronounced dead at the scene at 2:37 a.m., according to the Tarrant County medical examiner's office.
