Woman waiting on tow truck killed in hit-and-run crash, sister hospitalized

 

 

FORT WORTH, Texas - Fort Worth police are trying to find the person who hit and killed a woman as she waited on the side of the road for a tow truck.

The crash happened around 7 p.m. this past Thursday on International Parkway, just south of the DFW Airport south exit.

 

 

Police said 57-year-old Susan Simmons was standing with her sister, 48-year-old Krystal Edwards, near their disabled vehicle. They were waiting for a tow truck to arrive.

 

Both were hit by a passing pickup truck that veered off the road. The driver never stopped.

 

Simmons was pronounced dead at the scene. Her sister was taken to the hospital with serious injuries, police said.

Family members say Edwards broke both of her legs and is still in the hospital.

 

Investigators are now looking for a Toyota Tundra with a missing driver’s side mirror.

 

"If you know of anyone or any suspicious Toyota Tundra pickups that are missing that left mirror, please give us a call," said Officer Daniel Segura with the Fort Worth Police Department. "We need to know who that driver was and where is that truck in order to continue with this investigation."
