Fort Worth police have asked for help identifying the driver of a Toyota Tundra pickup missing its left side mirror that allegedly veered off-road and struck two women, killing one, on International Parkway last week.

A hit-and-run occurred south of the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport near Highway 183 at around 7 p.m. on December 21. This was a busy day for holiday travel, with a record-breaking total of 243,000 air passengers projected to pass through the airport terminals.

Two sisters, 57-year-old Susan Simmons and 48-year-old Krystal Edwards, were waiting on a tow truck they had called after Edwards’ vehicle ran into trouble.

“My mother told me the roads were slick. She felt her back tire hit a bump,” Edwards’ daughter, Shiloh Dykes, told Fox 4 KDFW. “When that happened, they had lost control and slid into a ditch.”

“My mother says the last thing she remembers is her and Susan were arguing about who was going to stand in front of the other,” Dykes continued.

As indicated by Fort Worth police on X, the suspect swerved and hit both women as they were walking up the road. The driver reportedly kept driving.

Edwards sustained serious injuries to her back and shoulder, as well as breaking her legs and ankles. Simmons was in cardiac arrest when first responders arrived at the scene, and she died shortly thereafter.

Fort Worth police are urging the public to come forward with any information that may help bring the hit-and-run driver to justice. The phone number to call is 817-392-4884.

“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, according to Fox 4. “We need to know who that driver was and where is that truck in order to continue with this investigation.”

The metroplex has witnessed several hit-and-run incidents this month.

In early December, a driver was killed in a second collision after reportedly attempting to flee the scene of a minor automobile crash in South Oak Cliff, as previously covered in The Dallas Express.

Also in Dallas, a driver ran over a pedestrian in a crosswalk with such force that his body was dismembered, with part of it flying through the windshield and into the vehicle’s passenger seat. The suspect continued to drive, being found by police in a parking lot in White Settlement hours later.

Vehicle-related offenses continue to drain the stretched resources of the Dallas Police Department, which fields approximately 3,000 officers — far fewer than the 4,000 previously recommended by a City report.

Motor vehicle theft is the most prevalent crime in the city, reaching 18,559 offenses as of December 27, according to the City’s crime analytics dashboard.

These and other criminal offenses plague Downtown Dallas. Monthly studies conducted by the Metroplex Civic & Business Association show that significantly higher rates are being logged there compared to Fort Worth’s downtown area, which is patrolled by a special police unit and private security guards.
