The Arlington Police Department is investigating a single-vehicle wreck that resulted in the deaths of two people.

On October 13, 2024, at approximately 2:55 a.m., officers responded to the 3600 block of W. Division Street where a 2006 Jeep Commander had gone off the roadway and was fully engulfed in flames.

The Arlington Fire Department responded to the scene and extinguished the fire. Officers then located the remains of two people inside the vehicle. Due to the severity of their injuries, we have been unable to identify them.

Investigators determined the Jeep was traveling eastbound along Division Street, left the roadway for an unknown reason, and struck a metal light pole. It then continued eastbound and crashed into a tree before catching fire.

The investigation is ongoing.

The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office will release the names of the deceased once they have been positively identified and their next of kin have been notified.
