How the US 77 Intersection Crash Unfolded
The collision took place shortly after 10:30 a.m. Garcia was behind the wheel of a 2019 Nissan Altima headed east on County Road 2120, nearing the intersection with northbound US 77. DPS said a 2019 Ford F-250 heading north in the inside lane struck the Altima on its passenger side.
The Altima spun twice before it stopped, and the pickup came to rest on the inside shoulder of US 77. DPS said Garcia was transported to Christus Spohn Hospital in Kingsville and died there of his injuries. A 50-year-old Corpus Christi man was driving the pickup, and DPS did not say whether he was hurt.
