RICHARDSON, TX – A 74-year-old driver died, and a passenger went to the hospital Tuesday after a two-vehicle crash at a busy Richardson intersection.
According to DFW Scanner, the crash happened around 2:54 p.m. in the Buckingham area at the intersection of West Buckingham Road and South Sherman Street. This is just south of West Spring Valley Road.
