Two men were found dead in a minivan that crashed in a Fort Worth neighborhood, with police discovering nearly 500 pounds of liquid methamphetamine inside the vehicle, valued at approximately $3 million. The crash occurred on Delga Street when the van collided with a parked car and rolled into a fence. One victim was found deceased in the passenger seat, while the driver, who initially received aid, later died as well. Firefighters at the scene identified ten buckets containing an unknown chemical, leading to a hazmat response. One firefighter was hospitalized due to exposure to the fumes but was expected to recover. The chemical tested positive for meth, and the federal Drug Enforcement Administration is involved in the ongoing investigation, with the Tarrant County Medical Examiner set to release the victims’ identities and causes of death.
