KILLEEN, Texas – Two boys died Thursday in a three-vehicle crash on Business 190, the Texas Department of Public Safety reported Friday.
The accident occurred just after 6 p.m. on US 190 at Venable Village in Bell County.
Killed in the crash were two males – ages 10 and 8, DPS said.
A GoFundMe has been established.
According to DPS, a 2004 Chevrolet pickup – driven by a 17-year-old Killeen male – was traveling west, while a 2020 Chevrolet Sonic – driven by a 35-year-old Killeen woman – was traveling east on Business US 190.
At the same time, a 2017 Ford F-350 pickup – driven by 42-year-old Kempner man – was traveling east behind the Chevrolet Sonic.
“... For reasons unknown, the 2004 Chevrolet truck made a U-turn in the path of the Chevrolet Sonic and collided with both the Chevrolet Sonic and the Ford F-350,” DPS said Friday.
While the drivers of the 2004 Chevrolet and the 2020 Chevrolet Sonic were taken to the hospital with “serious injuries,” it wasn’t immediately known if the Ford F-350 driver sustained “any injuries,” DPS said.
The crash remains under investigation.
Family and friends of the victims set up a GoFundMe page Friday to help with funeral costs.
