1 Killed, 6 Injured in Palmview Car Accident
The two-vehicle crash happened at about 10:13 p.m. on FM 676 east of Los Ebanos Road.
One person was killed and six others were injured in a two-vehicle car crash on FM 676 in Palmview on November 11, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.
The Night of the FM 676 Crash
It was about 10:13 p.m. when the two vehicles collided east of Los Ebanos Road. The Texas Department of Public Safety identified the driver of a Chevrolet Malibu as Maximiliano Torres, 17, of Alton. Troopers said Torres had been traveling eastbound on Los Ebanos Road. The other vehicle was a white Chevrolet Silverado, which was westbound in the inside lane of FM 676 as it approached Los Ebanos Road. The Silverado carried a male driver and five passengers. Torres died at the scene. The six people in the Silverado were taken to a local hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening.
Where the DPS Investigation Stands
Department of Public Safety troopers are continuing to investigate the crash. Troopers have not announced any charges.
When police say a crash is still under investigation, it usually means they are still collecting evidence and have not reached any conclusions.

Here is what families in Texas usually need, in the order it comes up.
