OLDHAM CO., TX – A 57-year-old woman died Thursday in a two-vehicle collision along the highway in southeast Oldham County, reports News Channel 10.
The accident occurred shortly before 7:30 a.m. on US-385 near County Road 26. This is just south of Vega and approximately 35 miles west of Amarillo.
Police say that a northbound Chevrolet Silverado struck a Ford Explorer when the driver of the latter vehicle failed to yield right of way when re-entering the highway from a private drive.
