Two people were pronounced dead as a result of a collision that took place on Highway 90, Monday night.
According to Terrell County officials, the incident occurred on Highway 90 just east of Dryden. An 18-wheeler truck was seen traveling along the highway when, for reasons that had not been determined, it crossed the center line and collided head-on with another tractor-trailer. The impact of the collision caused both trucks to burst into flames.
Both drivers were pronounced dead by emergency crews who responded to the scene. They were identified as 60-year-old Cayetano Echevaria-Ramirez from El Paso and 27-year-old Hector Reyes-Acosta, from Chihuahua, Mexico.
Police have yet to determine why the driver of the 18-wheeler drifted onto the center line.
The crash remains under investigation.

In the United States, Texas is one of the leading states in the number of traffic collisions involving fatalities. In fact, in 2015 alone, the state recorded more than 1,300 deaths caused by reckless drivers. Despite the government’s aggressive efforts to keep these cases down, Texas remains the worst state in the country for alcohol-involved car crashes.
