Federal investigators discovered drivers were going too fast just before a deadly pileup on an icy day in Fort Worth.
It’s been nearly two years since that chain-reaction crash on an icy, elevated section of Interstate 35W. A 1,465-page preliminary report said rain began to fall about 15 minutes before the crash on Feb. 11, 2021.One of the first paramedics on the scene of the I-35 West pileup in Fort Worth was there so quickly because he actually survived the crash.Around that same time, road sensors detected average speeds above 100 miles per hour in the left lane. The speed limit there is 75.
The report includes facts collected by the National Transportation Safety Board but does not draw conclusions about the probable cause of the crash. Lanes in the area had been pre-treated a few days earlier to try to prevent ice, but some drivers who were involved said it didn’t seem like they had been.
