According to Statesman, investigators believe reckless driving—specifically, racing—may have played a role in the tragic collision that killed an 8-year-old boy and his 1-year-old stepbrother earlier this month. Police have arrested and charged the 18-year-old motorist who was involved in the fatal crash.
According to News West 9, an East Texas man died earlier this month as the result of his involvement in a rear-end collision between a pickup truck and an 18-wheeler. The crash happened on State Highway 302 in Ector County at around 8 p.m. on a Friday.
