I‑30 backup near Green Oaks creates delays for Arlington World Cup traffic

Eastbound I‑30 slowed to a crawl Saturday after a multi‑vehicle crash near Green Oaks left only one lane open.

Just before 7 p.m., four vehicles were involved in the crash, Arlington police said.  

Drivers headed to the Arlington entertainment district – including those traveling to Saturday night's World Cup match between Jordan and Argentina – were urged to take alternate routes.

Police said a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado traveling westbound rear‑ended a 2017 Nissan Altima and a 1997 Jeep Wrangler. The impact pushed the Silverado and Wrangler over the center median and into the eastbound lanes.

A 2016 Ford Mustang traveling eastbound then collided with the Silverado. The Altima struck the center median, according to authorities.

A 54‑year‑old woman and a 57‑year‑old man in the Wrangler were taken to a hospital with non‑life‑threatening injuries. All other occupants were treated at the scene or were uninjured, police said.

Eastbound I‑30 was reduced to one lane for about an hour before all lanes reopened.
