The pick up truck was traveling east in the center-left lane in the 2600 block of West Freeway about 8:45 p.m. when it hit standing water and spun out of control, killing 1 and injuring 5, according to police reports.

Fort Worth police spokesman Pedro Criado said that the truck flipped over a guardrail and traveled about 200 feet before crashing to the ground.

The left rear passenger in the truck, identified as 20-year-old Alexandria Gonzalez, died at the scene, according to the police report.

The driver, identified as a 17-year-old female, was injured and taken by ambulance to Harris Methodist Hospital where she was arrested. She could face intoxication manslaughter charges, Criado said.

The driver told officers that she had a couple of drinks, and police noted that she had bloodshot, watery eyes and the smell of alcohol on her breath, according to the police report.

Three of the eight in the vehicle at the time fled after the crash, Criado said.
