Fort Worth, TX — July 24, 2025, Linda Strause was killed as the result of a car accident at around 5:24 p.m. on East Northside Drive.
According to initial details about the accident, it took place just off the corner of the Northside Drive and I-35W intersection.
Investigators said that 77-year-old Linda Strause was in a Toyota Corolla traveling southbound at the time. A Ford F-150 was going westbound. The two vehicles reportedly crossed paths, and a collision occurred as a result.
Due to the accident, Linda Strause was fatally injured. The other driver apparently had no injuries. Right now, additional details are unavailable.

People often think car accidents are simple just because they’re common. However, not all investigations are created equal. It’s important for families to know that the right questions are being asked so they can get the answers they deserve.
Did the authorities thoroughly investigate the crash?
Not all responding agencies have the tools, training, or time to reconstruct an intersection collision in detail. Scene mapping, damage pattern analysis, and timing calculations are critical to determine each vehicle’s approach and speed. Without these steps, important factors—like evasive maneuvers or changes in speed—can go undocumented.
Has anyone looked into the possibility that a vehicle defect caused the crash?
Steering or brake failures can cause a driver to enter an intersection unexpectedly, and issues with airbags or seatbelts can determine whether a crash is survivable. A prompt inspection of both vehicles is necessary to rule out or confirm these possibilities before the evidence is lost.
Has all the electronic data relating to the crash been collected?
Both vehicles’ Engine Control Modules (ECMs) may hold data on speed, braking, and steering inputs before the collision. Camera footage from nearby intersections and cellphone records could also add critical context. This evidence is time-sensitive and must be retrieved quickly.
Understanding how and why a crash happened requires gathering every available piece of evidence—not just those visible at the scene. So if authorities dug below the surface here, that’s good. But if they brushed this off as no big deal (something I’ve seen far too often), they could be missing crucial details.
Takeaways:
- Intersection crashes need advanced reconstruction to establish timing and vehicle movement.
- Mechanical or safety system defects can play a role in both cause and severity.
- ECM data, cameras, and cellphone records should be secured promptly to preserve facts.
