JONESBORO, Texas – A 32-year-old Waco man was killed Monday when the Ford F-350 he was a backseat passenger in crashed after hydroplaning on wet SH 36 in Coryell County.
Gerardo Gonzalez-Rocha died in the accident that occurred about 6 p.m., 3.5 miles east of Jonesboro, the Texas Department of Public Safety said Tuesday in a news release.
According to DPS, the 2016 Ford F-350 – driven by a 32-year-old Waco man – was traveling too fast “for the wet roadway” while heading west on SH 36 and hydroplaned.
“The Ford crossed into the path of an eastbound 2015 Chevrolet truck towing a trailer and collided,” DPS said. “... Both drivers of each vehicle were transported to Baylor Scott & White in Temple for injuries.”
The crash remains under investigation, DPS said.
