A 19-year-old driver was arrested after five people, including two children, were killed in a car crash Monday morning in Fort Worth, Texas, according to multiple reports.
The collision caused Interstate 35W to shut down for several hours and it was reopened again at 5:30 a.m. local time, reports WFAA and Fort Worth Star-Telegram. One other person was taken to the hospital in critical condition.
Eduardo Gonzalez, 19, was charged with driving while intoxicated and five counts of intoxication manslaughter with a vehicle, according to multiple reports. Gonzalez was injured in the crash and received treatment at a local hospital.
Police arrived to the scene around midnight and found that a Camaro rear-ended a sedan heading northbound on the highway, according to WFAA. The Sedan had multiple people in it.
