Two people, who have yet to be identified, were killed last week after a white Ford F-250 and gray Acura sedan collided with each other in the southbound lanes of East Loop 820 in east Fort Worth, Texas.
A witness to the accident, Melissa Shearin, who lives in the neighborhood along the access road, said she came to the site of the crash and discovered two young men who seemed to suffer the worst injuries, both of whom died at the scene.
The interstate highway was shut down for several hours while police investigators and emergency medical responders cleared the area and investigated the accident scene.
The thoughts of everyone at the firm go out to the families of the victims of this accident.
A multi-vehicle accident on Monday, February 3, in Montgomery County, Texas that resulted in several people incurring minor wounds was caused by a woman who was suspected of driving under the influence.

BP PLC exposed nearby residents of its defective Texas City refinery to at least 500,000 pounds (227,000 kilograms) of harmful gases, a lawyer told a Texas jury of eight women and four men in his closing statements on the first three of almost 48,000 toxic-exposure claims on Tuesday, October 8.
The prosecutor added that the British multinational oil and gas company would have been backed by more than $20 million had it chosen to shut down its faulty unit to conduct repairs.
After four weeks of testimony, the jurors began deliberating last Wednesday, October 9.
The plaintiffs are seeking almost $200,000 in actual damages each, plus $10 billion in punitive damages, which they will donate to charity.
