Cynthia Chavez Hernandez IDed as victim in Gaines County collision
GAINES CO., TX – A Pharr woman died, and a man sustained injuries last Thursday in a two-vehicle collision at a rural intersection in northwest Gaines County, reports KCBD 11.
The accident occurred just before 5:45 a.m. at the intersection of County Road 212 and County Road 219, which is northwest of Seminole and approximately 90 miles southwest of Lubbock.
Police say that a westbound RAM pickup truck collided with a northbound GMC Sierra when the driver of the former vehicle failed to heed a stop sign.
Both pickup trucks overturned, and the passenger in the Sierra succumbed to her injuries at the scene of the crash. Authorities identified her as 32-year-old Cynthia Chavez Hernandez.
Medics transported both drivers to area hospitals with serious injuries. They’ve been identified as Daniel Gonzales Jr. from the Ram and Irving Alejandro Hernandez Presas from the Sierra.
It’s unclear if Gonzales Jr. will faces charges in connection to the crash.
A full investigation is underway.
