A 30-year-old Benbrook man was killed early Sunday morning after his small sports utility vehicle crashed into a barrier on a bridge on North Collins Street and fell into a creekbed, police said.
A construction worker found Oscar Saenz's body inside a 2008 Nissan Rogue in a dry creekbed below Collins Street in far north Arlington at about 9 a.m. Sunday. Witnesses last saw Saenz leaving a nightclub, just north of the wreck, seven hours earlier, police said.
Saenz was driving south in the northbound lanes of North Collins, just south of Brown Boulevard, when he struck a concrete barrier that is connected to a bridge, said Arlington police spokeswoman Tiara Ellis Richard.
His vehicle then went off the bridge and landed below Collins Street, Richard said.
Pending toxicology results will determine if alcohol played a role in the death, Richard said.
This is the 30th traffic fatality in Arlington this year and nearly half of them involved drugs or alcohol, according to Arlington police.
