A suspected speeding crash resulted in one death and injuries to another person on State Highway 207, according to a local news source.
In the report released by the Texas Department of Public Safety, an undescribed vehicle was traveling along SH 207 at around 7:00 a.m. As it goes south, the car passed by a large pool of standing water, causing it to hydroplane. It then rolled over and came to rest in a drainage ditch on its side. When DPS troopers arrived at the scene, they found a woman, identified only as a Stinnet resident, inside the vehicle. She was immediately taken to Amarillo Northwest Texas Hospital with injuries that were considered to be non-life-threatening. Her passenger, a 54-year-old Borger woman, was fatally injured and was pronounced deceased. It was not confirmed if she died at the scene.
Identifications have yet to be released. The investigation is still ongoing at this time.
