The Arlington Police Department is currently investigating to determine the circumstances and factors that led to the accident resulting in the death of a 31-year-old male victim.

On the morning of September 8, 2024, at approximately 3:37 a.m., officers arrived at the scene where a pickup truck lay wrecked in the center median along 1500 West Interstate 30 in Arlington, Texas. Emergency services were deployed to assess the situation and aid the people involved in the accident.

Police said the pickup truck lost control, veered off the roadway, and crashed into a concrete barrier. The vehicle then struck a sign pillar and guardrails.

The impact of the collision caused the man to be ejected from the driver's seat of a 2006 Ford F-150, tragically resulting in his immediate death at the scene.

The Tarrant County Medical Examiner's Office has officially identified Roberto Maltos Gavia as the driver who was involved in the tragic accident that occurred earlier today.

A 32-year-old woman who was a passenger had to be untangled by Arlington firefighters and went to an area hospital in critical condition.

The Arlington police have indicated that intoxication is being considered as a probable contributing factor in the collision.
