The Texas Department of Public Safety is investigating a three-vehicle crash that occurred Sunday and left one person in a coma while another ran from the scene.
According to DPS, the crash happened around 8:10 p.m. on Alamo Road, south of Texas Road and east of Edinburg, where one man was traveling northbound in a white 2007 Chevrolet Silverado behind a Toyota Tacoma.
The release stated that the driver of the Tacoma wasn’t wearing a safety belt when the driver of the Silverado struck him after failing to control his speed.
“The Toyota veered to the southbound lanes and collided with a Ford Van,” the release said.
The driver of the Ford Van didn’t have any injuries, but the driver of the Toyota Tacoma did sustain major injuries, was transported to a local hospital and is in a coma.
Police said the driver of the Chevrolet Silverado fled the scene on foot and failed to stop and render aid.
DPS Troopers will continue to investigate the crash.
