FORT WORTH (CBSDFW.COM) -A 15-year-old girl is dead after a crash in Far North Fort Worth Sunday night.
A family member tells us her young baby was in the car, too.
It happened at the intersection of Jacksboro Highway and Nine Mile Bridge Road.
Police are investigating what led up to the point when a flat-bed truck collided with the car carrying the victim.
Investigators say around 7:20 p.m. the black car and the flatbed truck hauling a trailer entered the intersection at the same time when one of them presumably ran a red light. Police are still trying to determine who was at fault.
Inside that black car were the driver, described by family members as the 15-year-old's fiance, the 15-year-old and the couple's baby girl.
The 15-year-old died at the scene. The driver and the baby were taken to local hospitals with what are described as non-life-threatening injuries.
Timothy Russell says he and the driver's sister were close behind in another car when the crash happened.
"All of a sudden Jessica started screaming. She was like, oh my God, my brother, my brother, my brother had a wreck, and he was running the baby across the road to us," Russell said.
The two main vehicles involved in the crash also made contact with another truck. Police tell us no one in the two trucks sustained any serious injuries.
