We are hearing reports that the North Tarrant Express, where this horrific 100 car pileup occurred, was neither salted nor sanded. The Fort Worth Fire Department had to bring their own salt & sand just to access the scene. #FortWorth #HD90 #I35

My office is asking many questions and demanding answers. We have already had multiple discussions about this tollway’s bottleneck design and lack of commonsense safety measures such as a shoulder.

Who was responsible for safety on this roadway? Who was responsible for deicing this portion of our highway? Who dropped the ball and why? Does TxDOT oversee safety measures on tollways or do we just trust these private companies to handle it?

Every resident of Fort Worth has known this weather was coming for days, yet nothing was done, and far too many people have lost their lives as a result. We will not rest until we get answers. Incredible gratitude to @fortworthpd and @FortWorthFire.

This tragedy deserves an immediate and thorough investigation. This inclement weather was foreseeable and lives were lost because a private company didn't uphold its end of the deal. Investigate now @TXAG @TxDOT @TxDPS. #fortworth
