Three Killed, Infant Injured in PGBT Crash in Grand Prairie

Three people were killed and an infant was injured in a crash Thursday on the President George Bush Turnpike in Grand Prairie.

Texas Department of Public Safety spokesman Sgt. Lonny Haschel said an armored vehicle was disabled, sitting in the painted split area between the ramps to eastbound and westbound Interstate 20 from southbound PGBT.

For an unknown reason, a Honda Accord crossed into the painted area from the right lane and struck the rear of the armored vehicle at about 4:25 p.m., Haschel said.

Three occupants in the Accord died at the scene, authorities said. They have been identifed as Carolyn Lewis, 68, Thomas Lewis, 69, and Carolyn Adkison, 35. An infant who was also in the Accord was transported to Children's Medical Center of Dallas with serious injuries.

Two occupants in the armored vehicle had minor injuries and were not transported to the hospital.

The investigation continues into the cause of the crash.
