A Donna man was killed after being ejected from his vehicle in a fiery crash Friday near Weslaco, state troopers said in a news release.
The Texas Department of Public Safety is investigating a two-vehicle crash that occurred around 5:40 p.m. in the vicinity of Mile 6 Road West and Mile 12 Road North, near Weslaco.
That’s where a 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer was heading southbound on Mile 6 while a white 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 was traveling westbound on Mile 12.
According to DPS, the Silverado “disregarded a stop sign and collided with the” Trailblazer.
“The Chevrolet Silverado veered into a large drainage ditch and engulfed in flames,” DPS said. “The driver of the Chevrolet Trailblazer was transported to (DHR Health) with non-life-threatening injuries.”
The driver of the Silverado, however, Concepcion Chable Reyes, 56, was ejected from the vehicle and died at the scene of the crash due to his injuries.
Authorities say they are awaiting a toxicology report to determine if Reyes was driving under the influence.
