Two people were killed, including a woman from Dripping Springs, after their vehicles collided head-on April 4 near the Hays and Travis county line.
Carol Ann Larue, 58, of Dripping Springs, was killed in the wreck, according to a Texas Department of Public Safety spokesperson. The second victim was identified as Jory D Mayer, 21, of Austin.
According to a DPS accident report, the wreck took place around 4:24 p.m. on U.S. Highway 290 roughly six miles west of Austin.
A 2009 Nissan Rogue, driven by Mayer, was traveling eastbound on the left lane of U.S. Highway 290 when, for unknown reasons, it drifted into the center turn left lane, according to the report.
The Rogue then drifted into the left lane of westbound U.S. 290 and into the path of a 2014 Ford Escape, driven by Larue.
The two vehicles crashed head-on, according to the release. Both drivers were pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities have not released any additional details on the crash. DPS continues to investigate the incident.
