5 Killed in Seguin Car Accident
The crash happened on Sunday afternoon when an SUV left eastbound I-10 and landed on FM 725.
Five people, three of them children, were killed in a car crash on I-10 at FM 725 in Seguin on November 8, according to Seguin police.
How the I-10 Crash in Seguin Unfolded
The crash happened a little before 1 p.m. on Sunday. Police said it occurred at about 12:56 p.m. close to the Love's Travel Stop where FM 725 meets I-10. Police said it was raining and the roadway was wet. Investigators said a black Chevrolet Tahoe was headed east on Interstate 10 when it veered off the road, dropped from the overpass and came down on FM 725.
Officials said the dead were a man, a woman and three children. The adults were from Porter in Montgomery County. Police named the adults as 30-year-old Omar Lumbreras Oliva and 31-year-old Anna Deli Lumbreras. The children have been identified as Arian, 13, Genisis, 6, and Hailey, 3.
What Seguin Police Are Still Looking Into
Seguin police are examining what led to the crash, and no charges have been announced. Police said the investigation into the crash is still open. Lanes in both directions near the scene were shut while first responders worked, and the roads were open again by 6 p.m. Sunday. A relative of the family organized an online GoFundMe campaign to help with funeral expenses and other costs.
When police say a crash is still under investigation, it usually means they are still collecting evidence and have not reached any conclusions.

Lost someone in a crash like this?
Here is what families in Texas usually need, in the order it comes up.
Death certificates. The funeral home or the family can order them, and banks and insurers each usually want a copy.
Crash report. The crash report is usually ready a few weeks after the crash, and you can still get it later.
Funeral costs. Every state has a victim fund that pays funeral costs after some crashes, and the fund decides who qualifies.
Survivor payments. If the person who died had worked, their spouse or children may get monthly Social Security payments. Applying early matters.
Insurance offer. You can turn down the insurer's first offer and ask for more.
