The National Transportation Safety Board says crews failed to properly de-ice part of a Fort Worth highway during the February 2021 Texas winter freeze. Six people died in a pileup of 130 vehicles that skidded on the icy roads.
130 vehicles crashed in icy conditions
two years ago, killing six, failed to address the deteriorating road conditions, federal officials said Thursday. That portion of Interstate 35 West in Fort Worth was not treated with salt the morning of the Feb. 11, 2021, crash, the National Transportation Safety Board said. The agency said that while North Tarrant Express Mobility Partners Segment 3 had pretreated the southbound lanes of I-35W 44 hours earlier with a liquid brine solution, crews checking the road about 45 minutes before the crash didn't recognize that the elevated portion of the interstate where the crash occurred needed additional de-icing treatment.
A spokesman for North Tarrant Express Mobility Partners Segment 3 did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Joe Lara, who played Tarzan in the 1990s TV series “Tarzan: The Epic Adventures,' was flying a Cessna C501 on March 29, 2021, when the aircraft plunged into Percy Priest Lake, minutes after takeoff from an airport just outside Nashville. Lara was rated to fly with instruments only, but William Lardent, a local flight instructor who had flown with Lara several times in the Cessna that crashed, told investigators Lara struggled when forced to rely on instruments in low visibility and while using the plane’s autopilot.
