JEFFERSON CO., TX – Authorities have identified the victims of a single-vehicle collision that happened Monday in Jefferson County, reports KFDM 6.

Shortly before 5:30 a.m., emergency crews responded to a major accident on the East Freeway near Boyt Road, about 11 miles southwest of Beaumont.

The preliminary investigation indicates that an eastbound Dodge Charger carrying two people hit a concrete barrier on the interstate. It’s not yet clear what caused the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
