ARLINGTON - A woman who survived a crash was killed in a second crash a few moments later.

Police say the woman was the passenger seat of an SUV that was traveling eastbound when it hit a guardrail and rolled over several times. The man driving the SUV was ejected from the vehicle.

Both of them were pronounced dead at the scene.
Since the early morning accident, police say the hit-and-run driver has since contacted the department and is cooperating with investigators.
