-Batesville, Tx
A horrific accident which left five dead and two injured occurred between 5:00 and 6:00 PM on Thursday about eight miles east of Batesville on a curve just on the outskirts of the town where it was reported that two pickup trucks hit head on.
Trooper Maria Loredo, Public Information Officer for the Texas Department of Public Safety informed The News Gram of the fact that two pickup trucks collided head-on on a curve killing five people instantly and emergency medical personnel airlifted two survivors to a San Antonio hospital.
Investigators were attempting to reconstruct the scene along with what Trooper Loredo called a Crash Construction Team to assist them with the investigation as to ascertain exactly what caused the accident.
What is known is that the weather was particularly bad with 20-30 MPH winds blowing bringing in a cold front and visibility may have been a factor as billowing clouds filled the air.
The victims and their families, one family from Crystal City and one from Eagle Pass, are reeling after three of the five occupants in one vehicle perished and a mother and her child from Eagle Pass were also killed in the crash.
The highway was closed for hours and investigating officers worked late into the evening both working the accident scene as well as re-directing oncoming traffic.

Serafin Aguirre, District Conservationist for USDA, informed The News Gram that a very special event will be held today at the International Center for Trade.
According to Aguirre, the Maverick County Soil and Water Conservation District will be hosting a free Ag Day from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM today at the ICT.
According to Javier Mancha, Maverick County SWCD Board Chairman, "Maverick and the surrounding counties of Dimmit, Zavala and Val Verde are seeing an increase of beginning ranchers and farmers and we want to share opportunities on how they can be successful in their farm or ranching endeavors."
"We want to bring ranchers and farmers up to date on issues that may affect them," stated Aguirre, "Our tick riders are trying to protect cattle from the Texas Cattle Fever Tick. We also have USDA Farm Macro Gnomes and Sarah Webb will be here to advise our ranchers how they can qualify for many existing loans available to purchase show cows or to start a
herd."
Aguirre also said that there is an initiative called the Strike Force initiative to reach out into the colonias and inform our most needy of the availability of these opportunities as he says that sometimes they don't come out because they think the paperwork is too difficult to fill out, what they don't know is there are people there to help them.
