A head-on crash in Fort Worth this morning leaves a woman dead and a suspected drunk driver behind bars.

Police got the first 9-1-1 calls just before 12:30 a.m. saying there was a dark-colored truck going south in the northbound lanes of the Chisholm Trail Parkway near Arborlawn.

DPS troopers were dispatched. But before the wrong-way driver could be stopped the truck slammed head-on into a vehicle near Sycamore School Road, killing 22-year-old Brianna Lopez.

Police say the man driving the wrong way was identified as 32-year-old Aaron Roberts of Cleburne. He was arrested and charged with Intoxication Manslaughter.

The northbound side of the Chisholm Trail Parkway was closed all night, reopening just past 5 a.m.
