COVINGTON, TX – A 44-year-old man died last Tuesday in an accident involving two vehicles along the highway in north-central Hill County, reports KWTX 10.

Police say that a Dodge Ram pickup truck crashed into a disabled Chevy pickup up truck along the highway. The collision caused the Chevy pickup up to hit a man who had recently exited the vehicle. The man died at the scene. Authorities identified him as Christopher Lozano.
