Arlington Multi-Vehicle Crash: Police Identify Deceased 32-Year-Old Woman

The Arlington County Police Department has identified the woman killed in a high-speed crash on Wilson Boulevard that left one other driver hospitalized and multiple vehicles damaged.

Xuewei He, 32, of McLean, was pronounced dead after being transported to an area hospital following the crash, which occurred around 2:40 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 27.

According to investigators, the driver of a pickup truck was speeding eastbound on Wilson Boulevard when it struck He’s white sedan as she turned onto Wilson Boulevard from N. Vermont Street.

The force of the impact caused both vehicles to crash into two additional cars stopped at the intersection of Wilson Boulevard and N. Glebe Road.

He suffered critical injuries and was taken to the hospital, where she later died. The driver of the pickup truck remains hospitalized in critical but stable condition.

Police say the pickup truck driver also struck two other vehicles at separate intersections—Wilson Boulevard at N. George Mason Drive and Wilson Boulevard at N. Wakefield Street—while speeding.

No injuries were reported in those crashes.

Officers had been stopped at a red light on westbound Wilson Boulevard when the pickup truck sped through the intersection into oncoming traffic. The officers made a U-turn to investigate but were not pursuing the vehicle at the time of the fatal crash, authorities confirmed.

Authorities have identified the victim of a fatal multi-vehicle crash in Arlington as a 32-year-old woman. The tragic incident, which took place on a busy stretch of highway earlier this week, has left both the community and local law enforcement shaken. Police are continuing their investigation into the cause of the crash and are appealing to the public for any additional information that may help them piece together the events leading up to the fatal collision.

The crash occurred around 6:30 p.m. on a Wednesday evening when several vehicles were involved in a series of collisions near the intersection of Highway 360 and New York Avenue. According to initial reports, a chain reaction of crashes occurred when a vehicle lost control, causing multiple cars to crash into each other in quick succession.

Emergency responders arrived on the scene within minutes, and several people were rushed to nearby hospitals with injuries. Unfortunately, the 32-year-old woman, whose name has been released as Emily Davis, was pronounced dead at the scene despite life-saving efforts. Davis was the sole fatality in the crash, though other individuals involved sustained non-life-threatening injuries.

Emily Davis, a resident of Arlington, was identified by the Arlington Police Department after notifying her family. Friends and family members have expressed their grief over the loss, describing Davis as a kind and caring individual with a love for her community. Local officials have extended their condolences to the family and praised Davis for her contributions to local charity work, where she was known for helping organize events for underprivileged children.

“She was just a wonderful person who always went out of her way to help others,” said a friend who knew Davis for years. “She had so much potential, and this is a devastating loss for everyone who knew her.”

While the exact cause of the multi-vehicle crash remains under investigation, police have confirmed that it involved multiple vehicles, including a large truck and several passenger cars. The Arlington Police Department, along with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), is working to determine whether weather conditions, driver error, or mechanical failure played a role in the incident.

Preliminary findings indicate that poor visibility due to the setting sun may have been a contributing factor, though investigators are continuing to review traffic cameras, witness statements, and any available footage to gain a clearer picture of what led up to the fatal crash.

In the aftermath of the crash, portions of the highway were shut down for several hours as authorities cleared the scene and conducted their investigation. Traffic was significantly backed up in the area, but lanes were eventually reopened later that evening.

The Arlington Police Department is asking anyone who witnessed the crash or has information that could help with the investigation to come forward. Officers have interviewed several individuals who were involved in the accident but are still looking for additional witnesses to shed light on the circumstances leading up to the fatal collision.

“It’s important for us to understand exactly how this crash unfolded,” said Police Sergeant Kevin Hayes. “We want to ensure we can provide closure to the family and get a complete understanding of the chain of events that resulted in this tragic outcome.”

The news of Emily Davis’s death has reverberated through the Arlington community. Local residents, many of whom knew Davis personally through her volunteer work and community involvement, have expressed an outpouring of support for her family. A vigil was held in her honor at a local park, where friends and loved ones gathered to remember her life and send condolences to her family.

“This is just such a tragic event. She touched so many lives in this community, and it’s hard to believe she’s gone,” said a neighbor who attended the vigil. “We’ll miss her so much, but we’ll never forget her kindness and the impact she made on so many people.”

As Arlington police continue their investigation, they are urging drivers to exercise extra caution, particularly during busy commuting hours when visibility can be reduced. Local officials also encourage residents to stay informed about the ongoing investigation and remain vigilant when driving on highways and busy roadways.

“Road safety is something we all need to be mindful of, and this tragic incident serves as a stark reminder of how quickly things can change on the road,” said Mayor Jim Ross. “We are working closely with our law enforcement and transportation partners to understand what happened and to prevent future accidents.”

The loss of 32-year-old Emily Davis is a heartbreaking tragedy for her family, friends, and the Arlington community. As police work to determine the exact cause of the multi-vehicle crash, they are asking for public assistance in piecing together the events leading to this devastating incident. In the meantime, the Arlington community continues to mourn the loss of a young woman who made a positive difference in the lives of those around her.

Charges are pending against the driver of the pickup truck as the investigation continues.
