Authorities identified 41-year-old Christopher Lee Commiato, of Round Rock, and 43-year-old Crystal Marie Commiato Martinez, of Austin, as the victims who lost their lives following a two-vehicle collision that also injured four people on a Guadalupe County road over the weekend.
Officers actively responded to the area of State Highway 123 south of Elm Creek Road, near the 500 mile marker just north of Seguin at about 8:25 a.m. on Saturday, May 7 after getting reports of a car crash. According to the investigation reports, Christopher Lee Commiato was driving an SUV with Commiato Martinez and three other passengers, south on Highway 123.
At the same time, a Toyota Tundra pickup truck, driven by a Stockdale man with the 8-year-old boy as the passenger, was going northbound. For unknown reasons, Commiato swerved into the northbound lane at some point and slammed into the truck. Christopher Lee Commiato and Crystal Marie Commiato Martinez succumbed to their injuries after the collision.
Four others people who suffered injuries were rushed to an area hospital. An 8-year-old boy and an adult were initially reported in critical condition, but were later listed as stable as of Monday. The next of kin have been notified, officials said. No other details are available.
The crash remains under review.
