One victim of van crash is identified

HALTOM CITY -- One of the three victims in a fatal crash on Airport Freeway has been identified as a 42-year-old Fort Worth man, according to the Tarrant County medical examiner's website on Sunday.

Kenneth Johnson, 42, was a passenger in the van that crashed at about 4 p.m. Friday. He died from blunt-force trauma and his death was ruled an accident, according to the website. An official with the medical examiner's office said that the release of the identities of the other two victims -- a man and a woman -- was pending notification of relatives.

The three people killed and seven injured in the one-vehicle accident had apparently been hired for the day to distribute advertisements door to door, and they were being transported in a van without seats or seat belts when the driver lost control and hit a tree.

There was no information Sunday on the seven people injured in the accident.

The six men and one woman injured were taken to two Fort Worth hospitals.
