FORT WORTH, TX – A woman died, and two people sustained injuries Saturday when a vehicle struck them before crashing into a building in east Fort Worth.

According to WFAA News 8, the incident occurred shortly after 3 p.m. along Lancaster Avenue between Weiler Boulevard and Emily Drive. This is south of Meadowbrook Golf Course and west of I-820.
