An accident which occurred some time between 9:30 and 10:00 A.M. has claimed the life of at least one Eagle Pass youth and her mother.
The accident occurred approximately two miles out of Del Rio on Highway 277 and involved their private vehicle and a large commercial vehicle.
Emergency medical personnel, law enforcement vehicles and rescue vehicles were all dispatched to the scene at approximately 9:30 A.M. a couple of miles outside of Del Rio near the city limits adjacent to Chavira Elementary.
The Texas Department of Public Safety is conducting the investigation on this tragic turn of events which has left Eagle Pass and one of our high schools reeling once again with the emotion of yet another loss of life on our Texas highways.
