Tragic Arlington Crash Fatalities: 22-Year-Old Loses Life on Turner Warnell Road
On June 21, 2025, a devastating single-vehicle accident on Turner Warnell Road in Arlington, Texas, claimed the life of 22-year-old Sayf Fadhel.

Authorities believe the absence of a seatbelt contributed to the tragic outcome of one of Arlington’s latest crash fatalities.
Details of the Incident

Fadhel, the sole occupant, was found approximately 40 feet from the vehicle, having been ejected during the crash.
Investigators determined that excessive speed was a primary factor in the accident. The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed Fadhel’s identity and pronounced him deceased at the scene.
