Three-car wreck takes two lives on U.S. 290

Two people were killed, while another person was critically injured, in a violent three-car collision that occurred along U.S. Highway 290 in Dripping Springs Sunday.

According to a Texas Department of Public Safety spokesperson, a Ford Fusion was traveling southbound on Trautwein Road when it ran a stop sign at the U.S. 290 intersection.

The Fusion pulled out in front of a Honda Accord that was traveling westbound on U.S. Highway 290. The Fusion was initially struck on the left side by the Accord; that collision redirected the Fusion into the eastbound lanes of U.S. 290. The Fusion was then rear-ended by a Ford F-250 traveling eastbound.
