The Texas Department of Public Safety is currently investigating a two-vehicle crash that occurred Monday night leaving one Donna resident dead.

According to a news release, the crash happened around 7:20 p.m. on FM 493 and Atlanta Street in Donna.

Preliminary investigation revealed that a black 2016 Ford F-150 was traveling northbound on FM 493 when a red 2005 Harley Davidson Sportster motorcycle made a wide right turn into the northbound lane and collided with the Ford head-on.

“The driver of the Harley Davidson was ejected,” the release said.

A state trooper applied a tourniquet on the right side leg of 19-year-old Raul Osiel Luna to stop the bleeding and he was transported to a local hospital where he later died.

In an attempt to avoid hitting the motorcycle, the driver of the Ford traveled off the roadway but struck a utility pole and overturned.

The Ford driver was also transported to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

DPS troopers continue to further investigate this fatal crash.
