Authorities have identified the Texas Department of Transportation subcontractor killed in a Sunday crash as a 43-year-old Corpus Christi resident.

In a news release, officials identified him as Andres Garza.

The crash happened at about 6:40 p.m. in the area of FM 490 and North Interstate 69-C where Garza had been setting up road work signs in the southbound lanes.

A convoy was escorting the workers when a driver towing a “just in tow” vehicle veered south onto the grassy median and hit Garza, who died at the scene.

That driver has not been identified.

“This is an ongoing investigation, and the Edinburg Police Department wants to remind the public to exercise caution while driving,” the release stated.
