KILLEEN, Texas — The Killeen Police Traffic Unit are investigating a vehicle crash on Rancier Avenue that left two dead early Friday morning.
Around 12:11 a.m., officers said they responded to the 2800 block of E. Rancier Avenue on a vehicle crash report.
Responders said they found a Maroon Kia Telluride on fire at the scene with a deceased female driver pinned inside.
Authorities identified 33-year-old Diane Cintron as the driver of the Kia. Justice of the Peace Nicola James pronounced Cintron deceased at 12:33 a.m. on the scene.
The driver of the second vehicle—a white Cadillac—was airlifted to Baylor Scott & White Hospital in Temple where she succumbed to her injuries.
The 20-year-old driver of the white Cadillac was identified as Taeler Greenleaf. She was pronounced deceased at the hospital by Justice of the Peace Larry Wilkey at 2:20 a.m.
