11 Year Old Killed In Texas Panhandle Accident

The Texas Dept of Public Safety have released details on a fatal two vehicle accident near Dalhart in the Texas panhandle that resulted in the death of an 11-year-old boy.

According to the report, five other people were also injured in the collision that was caused after a Chevrolet Suburban SUV spun on icy roads and drive head on into the path of an oncoming 2012 Buick.

The icy conditions – which had been brought on by a strong winter front that dumped almost four inches of snow in the region – is believed to be a contributing factor in the collision; however, authorities have stated that the SUV – which was carrying three occupants from Phoenix – was traveling too fast for the conditions.

While the identity of the 11-year-old has not been released, authorities have confirmed that 38-year-old Mr. Gilberto Garcia Perez, 34-year-old Paz Alejandra Rocha were killed in the crash. An unnamed 11-month-old child was also hurt.

The investigation continues.
