Four people were killed in a fiery head-on collision following a high-speed chase. An investigation into the crash is underway by the Texas Department of Public Safety.
The chase began on the U.S. 90 just east of Sanderson, 230 miles west of San Antonio.
A DPS trooper observed a crew-cab pickup sped away during a traffic stop.
After a chase through Sanderson and north on U.S. 285, the truck veered into the oncoming lane of the two-lane highway and struck an oncoming pickup.
Both vehicles were engulfed in flames.
According to the DPS, the drivers and passengers in the fleeing truck from Del Rio, Texas, were killed, along with two other men in the oncoming truck.
The front-seat passenger in the fleeing truck was airlifted to an Odessa hospital in serious condition.
The third vehicle occupant was not injured.
