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.

Forth Worth car accident involving public transit bus kills one, injures three

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.
