Just after 12:30 p.m., emergency crews responded to a major rollover accident on TX-100 near Old Port Isabel Road in the city of Los Fresnos, which is about 18 miles southeast of Harlingen.

Police say that an eastbound Ford Ranger SUV carrying two 17-year-old girls overturned along the highway. Authorities say that driver was likely speeding when she lost control of the vehicle on the wet roadway.
