A new study shows that Dallas-Fort Worth area drivers endure the longest and most dangerous commutes in the nation.  The study showed that Dallas drivers spend an average of 28 minutes each way in traffic, and lose a total of 53 hours per year each due to congestion and wrecks on the roadways.  With all of that time on the road, Dallas-Fort Worth drivers are especially vulnerable to accidents caused by 18-wheelers and other large commercial vehicles, misuse of prescription drugs, and distracted driving, among other causes.

A Fort Worth, Texas, man was killed in a car accident Sunday night after being hit by an SUV.

The victim, 78-year-old Floyd Boortz, was standing outside his van on the service road of Interstate 30 putting gasoline into the vehicle’s tank along with a 20-year-old male, one of the van’s passengers. A Kia sports utility vehicle exited the freeway and struck the two men as well as the van.

The 20-year-old man, whose name has not been released, was critically injured. A 20-year-old female and a 2-year-old boy were also inside the van. Neither was injured.

Before the accident occurred, a good Samaritan driving a Dodge sedan stopped to help and parked in front of the van. After striking the two men and the van, the SUV then smashed into the parked Dodge. The driver of the Dodge was not hurt.

A Forth Worth public transit bus rear-ended two vehicles on Friday, killing one and injuring three others in a chain-reaction multi-car accident.

The 5-vehicle accident took place in the eastbound lanes of Interstate 820 shortly before 6pm. According to the Fort Worth Transportation Authority operations manager, a vehicle stopped short in front of the bus, which was a one of Fort Worth’s “T” special needs buses, a bus that is outfitted specifically to transport the disabled and elderly.

The bus rear-ended the vehicle, which then slammed into a second car. All three vehicles went up in flames.  

Two people were taken to Dallas area hospitals in critical condition. A third was taken to a Forth Worth hospital in stable condition.

The driver of the bus, 34-year-old Ronnie Ware, incurred minor burns on his arms and hands while helping the bus’s single passenger to safety. The passenger was not injured.

An 11-year-old was also seriously injured in the crash, which occurred on Friday, May 29^h at around 7:30 in the morning. The cause of the accident was the driver, 26-year-old Brenda Rodriguez, running a stop sign, resulting in a collision with a pickup truck.
