Two people have died from injuries in a collision on Christmas Eve between a car and a tractor-trailer in Decatur, according to reports. Details were sketchy Tuesday, but Decatur Police records show that the collision happened at 8 p.m. on U.S. 287 in Decatur. A police dispatcher said one person died at the scene, but there was no information available Tuesday morning about the person's identity. The other person, however, died at about 2:30 a.m. at John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth, according to the Tarrant County medical examiner's office.
The agency's Web site said the man's name was William Bell, but it did not list his age or address. U.S. 287 was shut down for three hours Monday night, the dispatcher said.
