Where the Crash Happened: I-20 near Oak Grove Road
The reported location is eastbound I-20 near Oak Grove Road in Fort Worth, close to the I-35 area. This is an interstate setting where vehicles typically travel at highway speeds and where responders often need substantial space to work safely after a serious crash.
The location also matters, as an interstate closure can affect traffic on nearby ramps and connecting routes. In a fatal scene, officers may need to shut down lanes long enough to protect investigators, preserve roadway evidence, and document the area before traffic can reopen.

Why Pedestrian Collisions on Interstates Require Careful Reconstruction
Pedestrian crashes on interstates are often severe because drivers may have little time to react, and pedestrians have no protection from highway-speed traffic. In this case, the crash happened on eastbound I-20 near Oak Grove Road, and the lane closures show that investigators needed time and space to review the scene.
Because early reports did not describe how the person came to be in the area or how the collision occurred, no assumptions should be made. Investigators will need to rely on physical evidence, witness information, and any available video before reaching conclusions.
How This Crash Is Investigated
Fort Worth police investigators will likely review roadway evidence, vehicle damage, debris, lighting conditions, witness statements, and any available traffic-camera or dashcam footage. They may also document where the victim was found and where the vehicle traveled before and after the collision.
The initial report did not identify a cause. Until police release additional findings, the crash should not be attributed to speed, impairment, distraction, visibility, or any other factor.
What to Do After a Fatal Pedestrian Collision in Texas
Following a fatal pedestrian collision, the official crash report can provide families and other involved parties with information documented by investigators through their scene examination, witness interviews, and evidence assessment.
In Texas, crash reports are maintained by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) through the Crash Records Information System (CRIS). The state’s official report portal is the CRIS Public Portal. The primary forms associated with Texas crash reports are the CR-3 crash report and the CR-91 mail-in request form.
Texas charges $6 for a standard crash report and $8 for a certified copy when purchased online through CRIS using a credit or debit card. Law enforcement agencies generally have up to 10 days to submit crash reports, and TxDOT processing typically takes about 4 business days, although reports are often available within 7 to 10 business days. Individuals with a qualifying interest in the crash may obtain an unredacted report, while other requesters receive a redacted version under Texas Transportation Code § 550.065(c). Rather than using a fixed public release period, Texas determines access based on eligibility and applicable redaction requirements.
Additional information may become available once Fort Worth police have completed their investigation into the I-20 crash.
