Woman Killed Truck Wreck Fort Worth

A 69-year-old woman has died from injuries she received early Wednesday when her car collided with a truck in north Fort Worth, police said.

The woman's name was not available at noon because authorities were awaiting confirmation that her family had been notified

The wreck happened 6:30 a.m. at the intersection of Crawford Farms Drive and Golden Triangle Boulevard.

Police said the woman was southbound on Crawford Farms Drive in a four-door Toyota as she approached the intersection.

Meanwhile, a "full-size Chevy truck" was westbound on Golden Triangle Boulevard, Sgt. Pedro Criado said in a news release.

The woman, Criado said, "failed to yield the right of way prior to entering the intersection."

Her car was hit by the truck on the driver side, Criado said.

"The collision caused her vehicle to spin and (it) continued traveling in a northeast direction for approximately 300 yards across a vacant field," Criado said.

Then the car smashed into a group of mailboxes, Criado said.

The woman was taken by ambulance to Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Fort Worth, but she was pronounced dead a short time later, Criado said.

The driver of the truck was not hurt, he said.

No other information was immediately available at noon.
