The Texas Department of Public Safety has released more information on a two-vehicle traffic crash that killed five people west of Jacksboro on Sunday.
The DPS said two of the victims who were killed were 15-year-olds from Jacksboro, and a 17-year-old from Argyle also died. All three were in a 2018 Honda Accord. The DPS policy is not to identify minors involved in car crashes.
The DPS also did not release the names of a 1-year-old child who was killed and a 4-year-old child who was injured in the second vehicle, a 2017 Honda CR-V, but said both are from Bryson.
The DPS earlier released the names of two adults involved in the wreck.
Jonathan Andres Contreras, 29, of Bryson, a passenger in the CR-V, was killed.
Evelyn Alexis Sheppard, 30, of Bryson, driver of the CR-V, was taken to Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital in Fort Worth with serious injuries.
The two-vehicle crash happened at 1:06 p.m. on U.S. Highway 380, the DPS said in an earlier release.
A preliminary investigation revealed the Honda Accord was traveling west on U.S. Highway 380 while the Honda CR-V was traveling east on the highway in Jack County, the DPS said.
The Accord tried to pass in a no-passing zone and hit the CR-V, authorities said. The Accord rolled before coming to rest on its top on the south side of the highway. The CR-V spun and came to rest on the south side.
